The Committee on Commissions, Statutory Authorities, and State Enterprises has handed over two lawyers, Kyle Lubega and Richard Buzibira to the Criminal Investigation Department in Parliament over their role in 2 shillings billion compensation scam
Criminal Investigation Department has been tasked to investigate two lawyers for their role in the 2-billion-shilling land compensation scandal.
Committee on Commissions, Statutory Authorities, and State Enterprises is investigating the circumstances under which a Kampala-based law firm, Lubega & Buzibira Co. Advocates represented 79-year-old Nantalia Namuli in the sale of 516 hectares of land in Kagadi district, western Uganda.
The 2 billion shillings compensation was part of the Shs10.6 billion supplementary expenditures to the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development in the Financial Year 2020/2021 meant to pay six landlords.
However, the committee in June 2021 received a request from the genuine owner of the land, led by John Kalete Antwane, the representative of the grandchildren of John Kalete, the actual owner of the land stopping any further payment or compensation claiming the people being paid were illegitimate owners.
