President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has banned all land evictions in the country that are carried out without the consent of the Resident City/District Commissioners.

Museveni said the District Security Committees-DSC which are headed by RDCs/RCCs must be informed and then agree for any eviction to be carried out.

“No eviction should be allowed to take place in a district without (1) the District Security Committee, chaired by the RDCs, meeting, looking, and consulting directly the Minister of Lands.

If this is not done and evictions take place, I will hold all the Members of the District Security Committee, except the UPDF representative because he/she may not know the substance of the issues involved, responsible and I will take action against all of them,” Museveni said.

Museveni also directed judicial officials to stop issuing illegal land eviction orders.

“I request His Lordship the Chief Justice to prevail on his Magistrates and Judges from violating the Constitution by illegally evicting our people in collusion with land grabbers.

I further direct the Minister of Lands to inform the Attorney General about such abuses by the judicial officers, so that legal action can be taken on them,” he said.

Uganda has been grappling with the issue of land evictions which are mainly carried out with support from the police and other security organizations.
