Businessman Ham in Losses after Government canceling his Titles on Kabaka's Kigo Land.

 

The Commissioner Land Registration has ordered for the cancellation of four titles obtained by city businessman Hamis Kiggundu on Kabaka’s land in Kigo.

A judgment signed by Mugaino Baker on September 6, 2022 for Commissioner Land Registration orders the immediate cancellation of Kiggundu’s titles citing an overlap on Kabaka’s titles, fraudulent procedures of allocating land by Wakiso district and the fact that the disputed land is a wetland.

“By the powers conferred upon me under S.91 of the Land Act, having found that the certificate of titles comprised in Kyadondo Block 273 plots 23974, 23975, 23976, and 23977 subdivided from plot 23720 were illegally issued, I hereby order that the same be cancelled and expunged from the register book forthwith.”

The Commissioner’s decision settles the longstanding battle between Hamis Kiggundu and the Kabaka of Buganda over ownership of land in Kigo measuring 140 acres. The story first broke earlier this year when Buganda kingdom stopped activities by Kiggundu where he wanted to construct a road between Mirembe Villas and Serena Hotel Kigo to gain access to what he said is his land.

Mengo insisted that the land claimed by Kiggundu is Kabaka’s and all titles being peddled were acquired fraudulently. The matter was then referred to the Commissioner Land Registration to cancel the titles thereon.
