BUGANDA Kingdom has asked the Government to delay the tabling of the Land Bill in Parliament until the National Land Policy has been formulated.
The Kingdom’s premier, JB Walusimbi, in a recent meeting with the President, requested the tabling of the Bill to be put on hold “until all negotiations are held.â€
It was reported in the press recently that President Yoweri Museveni had asked the Prime Minister, Prof. Apolo Nsibambi and the lands minister to re-introduce the Bill in Parliament.
The President was quoted as saying he received ago-ahead from the Buganda premier that the Kingdom’s concerns were being compiled into a document. However, Walusimbi refuted the claim in a letter.
