KAMPALA - President Yoweri Museveni has dropped veteran politician Baguma Isoke as Uganda Land Commission (ULC) chairperson, replacing him with former Hoima district MP Beatrice Byenkya.
 
According to a letter to the Speaker of Parliament, Rebecca Kadaga, dated April 8, 2019, Museveni has also appointed other members on the commission.

Former Gulu University Vice Chancellor Prof. Pen-Mogi Nyeko is one of them.
 
Others are former Iganga district LC5 chairperson Asuman Kyafu, Stella Achan and former Kabale Town Clerk Rukiika Bujara.
 
Charles Muhoozi has been retained as a member of the commission.
 
The new members will be vetted by the Kadaga-chaired Parliamentary Appointments Committee.

Isoke was appointed as land commission boss in 2013, replacing the late Jehoash Mayanja-Nkangi.
