Uganda: RDC Attacks Police Over Land

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Kiruhura – The out going Kiruhura Resident District Commissioner has accused the police land protection unit and private security firms of fuelling land grabbing from poor and disadvantaged groups.

Ms Mary Kemerwa, who has been Kiruhura RDC prior to her transfer to Pallisa told Daily Monitor shortly after halting the eviction of a family of two in Kayonza, Kikatsi in Kiruhura, that it was unfortunate that the Police land protection unit is involved in land grabbing.

“I am the head of security in this district why was I not informed of this? Even LCs are not aware. I will not accept the rich people to use police to grab people’s property,” she said last week. The RDC warned private security firms against interfering with land issues without clear guidelines from RDCs and the Police.

Orders given

“I have directed the arrest of two Falcon security guards and police that I found guarding the disputed land because the District Police Commander told me that he is not aware who deployed them there,” Ms Kemerwa said.

She said she is aware that some rich people are using the police and private security firms to grab land from the disadvantaged and appealed to the local council leaders to cooperate with RDCs in seeking justice.

Ms Kemerwa also expressed concern over increased cases of land grabbing by the rich from the disadvantaged groups like widows, children and the poor in Kiruhura District. Efforts to contact the police in Kiruhura were futile by press time.
