The Deputy Resident District Commissoner for Arua District, Mr Ezama Ham Mizamil has on Thursday morning 11-May-2023 restored sanity amongst aggrieved parties in a land conflict.

Mr Ocama Musa who is the complainant, accused Mr Jino Ocima over trespassing.

The complainant Mr Musa accused Mr Jino for trespassing into his land in 2020 and reported the matter to Community Liaison Officer (CLO) for management but to date, the matter has not been settled.

Mr Musa alleged that, at one point, the accused came to attack him with some people when he was digging in the garden and the attack left his son with some injury, of which, he reported the assault and the case is in court.

“On several occasions, Mr Jino left animals to go and graze on food crops in his garden”, Mr Musa added, a statement which was confirmed by the area LC1 of the village who was present in the meeting on Thursday 11-May-2023.

The accused Mr Jino instead denied the allegations by Mr Musa, but instead said, his father gave that land to Mr Musa to settle with his wife he had newly married that time in 1983.

Mr Jino Ocima (the defendant) who calls Mr Musa Ocama (the complainant) as his nephew with whom he grew up together with, are both residents of Ojibari village, Ayaa Parish, Ajia Sub-county, Vurra Constituency in Arua District.

Hon Ayikobua Cosmas the LC V Vice Chairperson for Arua District who is also the Councillor representing people of Ajia Sub-county to the District, advised the two aggrieved parties not shade blood or kill themselves over land matters.

“We got all these Lands here on earth, the potion that shall be used to bury each and everyone of us is very small! Why should we then torture or kill ourselves over it”  – the  furious Councillor asked.

He briefed the two parties about what the law says about acquisition of land in Uganda during the time the 1995 constitution of Uganda was promulgated, a narrative which he said, if going by the law, it makes Mr Musa Ocama as the automatic owner of the land in question.

Hon Ayikobua Cosmas while  thanking the Deputy RDC Mr Ezama Ham Mizamil for always handling matters head-on without delays, he said, many times our people and public officiasl / officers in Arua District handle problems with some breakdowns and delays, henceforth giving chance for the problem to become worse.

The Deputy RDC Mr Ezama Ham Mizamil in his decisions over the matter, urged Mr Jino and Mr Musa to remain calm and never to encroach on any other parties boundaries until a specific date is fixed for them to go and inspect the boundaries and also to declare their final decision over it.

He averred that, much as the law makes someone an automatic owner of a land after using / staying on it for 12 years without any disturbance from the giver (landlord / landlady), they are not going to use the law to make their final decision on the land conflict.

We are all humans and we are going to put on human face while making our final decisions over it so that there should be lasting peace and love amongst the two parties, the Mr Ezama Ham  concluded.

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...

Here is Why Our Utterances For Praying Jesus And God To Come Liberate Ugandans, May Be Misplaced. This Phrase is like inform of a Letter To Some Categorized Section Of Ugandans.

https://m.facebook.com/yusufosuta/photos/a.1896701010557789/2070383359856219/?type=3 OPEN LETTER TO NRM SUPPORTERS - NATIONAL ROBBERS MOVEMENT. .................................................................................. Last week of March, a friend told me to pray for Uganda.  I told him that he was an Idiot and we have prayed for too long and we are still hungry and sick and Jesus is not coming soon to liberate us. He then ignored the STUPID and sent me a picture we all now know.  It got me totally messed up.  This guy was telling me to pray then sends a picture of men bowing down in blood.  He might have meant guns but I blocked him because his utterances of praying for Uganda were misplaced. I unblocked him 3 weeks later and asked him about praying and assassinations.  His reply "eithrr prayers or guns or both". I hate violence with a passion.  So he is now blocked in like FOREVER. Do you feel safe?  Do not feel safe. Uganda regim...

Okello lost his wife 20 years ago and decided to only focus on their Mateo, Yona and Yosefu. 20 years later, Okello had 7 acres of land, a successful poultry business, and sinotrucks for hire. Early this year, Okello got a call telling him that one of his trucks knocked a boda boda. Okello decided to rush to see if he could sort it out before police became involved. Unfortunately, he never made it, as he was entering the main road, another trailer rammed into him and killed him instantly.   After Okello had been laid to rest, his sons sat down and divided the property amongst themselves. However, of late, Yosefu the last born has started complaining that he was cheated, and he wants to be given something else because most of the chicken in the chicken business died of a fever.   Can ...
