We shall compensate you- Museveni tells Lusanja residents after eviction

Must read

President Museveni has directed the office of the Prime Minister to avail relief items to the people of Lusanja, Wakiso whose homes were demolished prior to a court order obtained by a one Medard Kiconco.

On Friday, Kasangati police led by court bailiffs razed down over 350 homesteads in the area and in the process of blocking them, area chairman, Fred Kanyike, was injured and admitted in the local health facility for medication.

Angry Locals however, mobilized themselves and conducted a search that culminated into nabbing of the driver of a commuter taxi that transported them to the site. The car was touched and the suspect was handed over to police.

Through Minister for Primary Education, Rose Mary Sseninde State for Primary Education, Museveni intervened and ordered for halt to the ongoing process of putting down 240 other homes that were in the pipeline. He retaliated that if the order was executed in the rightful manner, government will compensate them.

Residents averred that Operation Wealth Creation boss Gen. Salim Saleh who is also young brother to Museveni has a hand in the evictions that rendered them homeless. Since then, residents have been living on the contested land that was later fenced off upon execution of the campaign.

Museveni blamed them for voting Kyadondo East legislator Robert Kyagulanyi who he said, whose mission is to oust him from power and reminded them that taking him off isn’t easy.

“These people should be given food and other relief materials as we did in Bududa to cater for their welfare,”
