Kibaale District deputy RDC Emmy Ngabirano wants National Forestry Authority (NFA) to stop all its activities of evicting people out of the forest in which they encroached illegally until the 2016 elections are done.

According to Ngabirano, evicting people from the forest even if they settled there illegally might cause unnecessary unrest, and disgust to the seating government. This comes as National forestry officials in Kibaale- Kagadi have stepped-up efforts to evict all illegal settlers in the Forest reserves to save the country from the increasing harsh climate change conditions resulting from tree cutting which is at its peak in these two districts.

However Environmental Activist Frank Musamuzi the Executive Director of the National Association of Environmental Experts (NAPE) has urged environmental conservation bodies not to mix in politics but rather remain focused on their constitutional mandate.
