Kabaka Mutebi II Inspects Buganda’s 125-Acre Kaazi Land Amid Ongoing Disputes
On Tuesday, the Kabaka of Buganda, Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II, paid a courtesy visit to the kingdom's 125-acre property in Kaazi, Wakiso District. The purpose of the visit was to assess ongoing activity on the land and resolve recent disagreements over its management and usage. His Majesty's visit highlights the necessity of resolving land disputes while ensuring that the property is used for the kingdom's development and profit.

Kabaka, accompanied by Mr Denis Bugaya, the Buganda Land Board spokesperson, Mr Ssejjengo Baker (Buganda Youth Minister), Joseph Kayemba (Head Communications BLB), and Mr Ashraf Kizito, the executive secretary of the Uganda Scouts and Girl Guides Association, thanked the board for cancelling fraudulent land titles issued by encroachers on the land, which has helped maintain its ownership under the Kingdom.
He also asked BLB to increase its efforts to defend the Kingdom's territory by engaging with the squatters who are currently occupying it.
In his remarks, Mr Bugaya, a BLB legal expert, warned existing squatters who fraudulently obtained fake land titles to seek clarification with the board with their documentation, or face eviction.
"We continue to urge everyone who occupy this land (for the scouts), that the titles they obtained were cancelled out, and therefore they should come to the Kingdom board with legality documents to be helped out," he said.
"This land is not for sale, it is for the Kingdom," Bugaya warned.
The property in question, located in Kyadondo Block 273, Plot 5, is part of the 350-square-mile Olusukulwa Kabaka (Kabaka's plantation). For years, it has functioned as Uganda's national scout camping site, a privilege bestowed by the late Kabaka Daudi Chwa II to promote scouting in the kingdom.
