City Businessman, Ham Kiggundu drags Kabaka to High Court over Kigo land wrangles.

City Businessman Ham Kiggundu has dragged  Kabaka Mutebi to the High Court Land Division alleging to be the  true owner of the Kigo land not kabaka.

Ham dragged kabaka Ronald Mwenda Mutebbi  to High Court appealing arising from the decision and orders of the commissioner Land Registration delivered by Mr Mugaino Baker on the 6th of September, 2022 at kampala.

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

Hamis Kiggundu under Kiham Enterprises has appealed challenging a decision by the Land registrar to cancel his Land titles. 

The registrar cancelled Kiham’s titles because the Original title belongs to the Kabaka of Buganda Muwenda Mutebi.

Speaking to the spokesperson of Buganda Land Board Denis Bugaya, he admitted that the Kabaka of Buganda had been served with the memorandum and record of appeal. 

“Our legal team has been instructed to study and handle the matter, and we are sure that we shall emerge victorious, just like we did during the initial hearing by the Commissioner Land registration because the facts surrounding this matter speak for themselves.”

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
