Backlog of land cases a challenge to judiciary

The judiciary says it is stuck with a total of 4000 pending land cases in Kampala recorded in the last one month.

This growing number of cases is attributed to the limited number of judges in the land division.

The judiciary public relations officer Elias Kisawuzi says the whole land division in Kampala has only two available judges.

Kisawuzi notes that the two judges are already constrained since the land work load is too heavy for them.

He adds that delays in of hearing land cases always result in blood shed.

 On Monday this week nine members of one family were hacked by unknown assailants in Rakai district over what the police have attributed to possible disagreements over land.
