Major Kakooza Mutale Warns Government Off Mailo Land

Posted by: Eninu William in Uganda news August 9, 2021

The special presidential assistant for political affairs Major Kakooza Mutale has come out to warn government to stay off the mailo land and discard the proposed changes.

Kakooza Mutale, a staunch NRM diehard said that going ahead with these plans will wipe away Uganda.

He went ahead to say that leaders should respect the 1900 Buganda agreement. This is because this agreement shows specifically how land ownership is.

He further advised those at the forefront of these policies to consult the different stakeholders before advancing these changes. This is because such changes could result into unwanted and negative repercussions for the country.

The warning comes after another bush war hero, Al Hajj Nadduli warmed President Museveni not to dare mess with the mail land.

This was one of the reasons why some people from the Buganda region joined the NRA liberation struggle.

However up to now, Museveni has not yet fulfilled some of these agreements.

However, Information, and National Guidance Minister, Dr. Chris Baryomunsi said that government will go ahead to encourage the debate on the land reform issues until they find a middle ground.

Baryomunsi blamed the colonial system which awarded some traditional chiefs huge chunks of land. They did this at the expense of the general population in order to consolidate colonial rule.

Baryomunsi added that although government has tried to come up with land reforms, there remains lots of unresolved land wrangles.

The proposal has however met mixed reactions from the Mengo circles and majority Baganda.
