Buganda Land Board launches activities to mark 30th Anniversary

Kampala, (UG):- Buganda Land Board (BLB), a professional body set up by His Majesty Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II to manage land and property in Buganda has embarked on a series of activities in the run-up to its 30th anniversary celebrations.

The institution has organized health camps and workshop seminars to educate and sensitize the public on land matters in the various counties to reduce on the increasing fraudulent acts committed out of ignorance.

Last week on Thursday, officials from BLB and partners camped in Makindye Ssabagabo, Masajja division, Gangu Parish, where it held Bulungi Bwansi involving pupils, local leaders and clan chiefs from the Kingdom.

The locals showed optimism and excitement about the initiative of extending the institution’s services to the ground level. “No one has gone to Buganda Land Board and does not come out helped. We have also benefited from their services, especially in resolving land disputes,” a resident of Gangu said.

David Sserukenya, the Makindye Ssaabagabo Municipality Member of Parliament who graced the occasion as the Chief Guest, urged the locals to ensure they get registered with the Land Board to get genuine land titles.

“Thank you, Kabaka, for the Kyapa Mungalo initiative and the subjects who responded towards the call. Also, those who haven’t yet, please do so and get registered formally,” Sserukenya said.

On his part, Owek Ssenabulya Vincent, a representative of People With Disabilities (PWDs) in the Buganda Lukiiko warned those who are yet to get certified by the land board to wake up, go to the board and obtain a legal stay on their land.

“The problem we have on land matters is because we do not care to follow up the chance given to us by the Kabaka, but I urge you all, to go to the Buganda Land Board, and certify yourselves,” Owek Ssenabulya told the residents.

Buganda Land Board administers an extensive portfolio of over 1000 square miles of land, including county and sub-county land and lands associated with Buganda Kingdom.

The institution’s 30th-anniversary climax celebrations in Kyadondo will be held in Masulita, Wakiso District, in Busiro County on 30th August 2024.
