Court Declines to Award Shs 500m Compensation, Instead Orders Shs 4.6m to be Paid for 'Sacred Tree’, after Shs 150m was Previously Offered for them by UNRA But They Rejected It Claiming that Amount Will Not Appease Their Ancestral gods.

Court orders UNRA to pay Shs4.6m for 'sacred tree’, instead of Shs500m claimed by owners.

The High Court in Mpigi has on Thursday dismissed a case filed by members of the Lugave Clan of Buganda kingdom, who sought to be paid half a billion shillings for a tree which is located along the site of the Busega-Mpigi Expressway.

The process to acquire this land hit a deadlock as owners put in the exorbitant claim for the tree, which they say is spiritual.

The tree is known as ‘Nabukalu’ and is said to belong to the Lugave clan, although one Hussein Katamba also claimed ownership.

UNRA head of public relations Allan Ssempebwa revealed that the court had ruled in favor of the Authority to dismiss the claim.

The court also ordered for the tree owners to be compensated as per the determination of the Chief Government Valuer (CGV).

“The CGV assessed Shs 4.6Million and its what the court has actually granted” he Ssempebwa said.

The Shs 4.6m he said is for the entire land where the tree is located, which measures about 0.083 decimals.

The Mpigi expressway project is currently at 10% and is hoped to be completed by 2025 according to UNRA’s Director of Roads and Bridges Eng. Samuel Muhoozi.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent. It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu". We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service. If you have not been denied registering your child i...
