State House Anti-Corruption Unit Saves Family Land From Serial Land Grabber

Posted by: Kyeyune Andrew Jonathan in Uganda news February 18, 2022

A complaint to the State House Anti-Corruption Unit that a suspect was trying to grab land for which they had charged him to take care of has prompted charges.

A one Kabaale Peter has been charged at Mpigi Chief Magistrates Court for giving the Uganda Police false information.

The suspect had until recently been the caretaker of the Barlow family’s 7.7 acres of land at Budo. The Barlow family also discovered that without their consent, Kabaale leased out the land they entrusted to him for custody.

His actions led to the termination of his contract on January 17th, 2022. The family gave him a grace period of 2 months to vacate the residential premises. They had allocated him to stay there.

Upon termination, he went to the police purporting to be the owner of the land and reported the owners as trespassers.

This further prompted the police to carry out investigations and found out he had given them false information.

They have since remanded him to Kitalya government prison pending a court appearance later on.

She said she bought this land located in the same area of her residence on 11th November 1992 from the late Steven Kakoza.
