Land Justice for Acholi quarters residents - Minister Mayanja reaffirmed residents' land rights

The land dispute in the Acholi Quarters has been ongoing for years, with residents of five villages Kireka D, Acholi Quarters, Banda B1, Mbuya Kinawataka, Mbuya 1, and Mbuya Katoogo facing evictions from their bibanja (customary land holdings). Some residents lost their lives in clashes over this land in 2014, intensifying the urgency for a peaceful resolution. The meeting was convened by State Minister for Lands, Dr. Sam Mayanja, who addressed the grievances of the affected communities.
