Peter Mayiga the Buganda Katikiro

The Katikiro of Buganda, Charles Peter Mayiga, has warned government on the proposed land amendment bill that seeks to give government powers for compulsory acquisition of people’s land saying it will lead to discontent.

Last week government tabled a constitutional amendment bill seeking to amend article 26 sub section 2 of the constitution saying that disagreements over compensation is delaying government projects.

Mayiga says that the Buganda Lukiiko should not allow government to take people’s land without compensation, insisting subsidiary laws should be made to protect the land owners.
