NRM Officials Blame Nantaba For Her Disloyalty To The Party

Former Minister Nantaba In Land Disputes With Neighbors

Posted by: Kyeyune Andrew Jonathan in Uganda news June 2, 2022

Former Minister, Aidah Nantaba has thrown Ndeeba village in Kayunga Town Council in Kayunga District into some bit of chaos due to some land issues.

This land dispute is between the former state minister of ICT and the residents in the area who got engaged in a bitter brawl over land.

As Ms Nantaba graded her land in preparation for building a perimeter wall around it, the residents accused her of encroaching on part of their land. They also said some of their crops and property got destroyed during the process.

The Asoni village chairman, Mr Frank Kanamwangi also confirmed the allegations of the residents.

Consequently, a certain family of a Mr. Matovu remained stranded on where they would answer nature’s calls from.

However, Ms Nantaba claimed she had given him money earlier as compensation for him to remove the toilet, something Mr Matovu denied.

Some of the destroyed crops included coffee, bananas, beans, cassava, jack fruit trees and others. This definitely had to infuriate the residents who confronted the former minister.

“As the grader was razing down crops and other properties, I went and reported the matter to Kayunga police station. This prompted officers to stop the grader from going ahead with the work,” Mr Kanamwangi explained.

And instead of apologizing to the residents, Ms Nantaba just accused her neighbors of fighting her.

“I was grading my land. Those crops that were destroyed by the grader are not a big issue. You are just fighting me,” Ms Nantaba told residents.

Mr. Felix Mugizi, the Kayunga District police commander did not comment on the incident. However, a source said they had opened a file into the case.
