Captain Juma Seiko is involved in a land wrangle with residents of Mukono district and is to evict 15 families and a school.
The affected families and other business entities occupied the land in 1994
“I bought the eight acres of land from Col. Sylver Kayemba in 1994.
This is not government land. I want all illegal squatters to leave my land immediately because I want to redevelop it,†Seiko said recently.
He said he would compensate the five squatters with habitable houses on his land since they bought it illegally in 2003 and 2004, but the rest would have to find other means.
Seiko said he was not able to immediately develop the land, so some area officials sold it.
Seiko recently met Mukono mayor Johnson Muyanja and some of the tenants. He showed them the land titles to prove his ownership.
The tenants blamed some officials for selling them land that was not theirs.
A secondary school, Tri-Star high school is also located on the land. John Kizito, one of its proprietors said they are planning to relocate it.
The meeting resolved that the tenants must vacate the land.
