Hamis Kiggundu urges Katikkiro to reform Buganda Land Board for better Development.

Ugandan Businessman Hamis Kiggundu, the Director of Ham Enterprises Uganda limited has appealed to the Katikkiro of Buganda, Charles Peter Mayiga to institute reforms at the Buganda Land Board to tackle alleged fraud by some officials at the organisation.

Speaking after a meeting convened by the Ministry of Lands to discuss an ongoing conflict between Kiggundu and the Buganda Land Board over land in Kigo, Kiggundu said there some officials at the Buganda Land Board using the Kabaka's name to grab the kingdoms land, and land belonging to ordinary people.

According to him, these culprits are using the power of their offices to grab land belonging to Buganda and Baganda."

He further noted that the same people have also tried to grab his land by claiming that he connived with officers at Wakiso District Land Board to grab the Kabaka's land in Kigo. "They have done this through blackmail, threats and character assasination in the media.

As a Muganda, I cannot differ from the aspirations of Buganda or even fight with my King. Its the people I am talking about who are the problem." he said.Kiggundu's appeal follows the resurrection of a land dispute at Kigo after Buganda Land Board officials petitioned the Commissioner Land Registration to cancel Ham’s titles accusing him of overlapping Kabaka’s Mailo with freehold titles. Through his lawyers, Muwema and Company advocates, Kiggundu asserts that he is the rightful owner of the land worth at least 140 acres, and has the paperwork to show his ownership and he legally obtained it from Wakiso district land board.
