Liberty ICD Ltd seeks court to declare that the certificate title of land on Plot 1425 block 113, Kyaggwe Road at Kolo Nantubulirwa is valid.
Furthermore, the company says that the land in question is not part of the Namanve Central Forest Reserve.
“A declaration that land comprised on Plot 1425 Block 113 does not form part of compartment II which is alleged to be part of Namanve Central Forest Reserve”. June 28 court documents read in part.
According to the NFA though, a number of plots including the one allegedly owned by the suing company partially fall inside compartment II. These are part of Namanve Central Forest Reserve and Namanve wetland.
Court documents have also shown that Liberty ICD Ltd is the registered proprietor of the land. This is after purchasing it from Mr Wycliff Kawalya.
More to that, there is proof that before buying the land, the company inquired from the land office. From this inquiry, they discovered that Mr. Kawalya owned the land.
“However, in a March 31 letter, the commissioner land registration wrote to the plaintiff contending that the certificate of land title was issued without following the right procedure and without the consent of the NFA,” the plaintiff states.
Consequently, the commissioner land registration resolved to cancel the land title.
The company, through its lawyers seek to have court restrain NFA and the commissioner land registration from effecting changes in the register by cancellation of the certificate of the land title in question. They are also seeking damages, interest, and costs of the lawsuit.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
