The Parliament’s Adhoc Committee investigating the distribution of 82.05 acres of Nakawa-Naguru land has summoned commissioners of the Uganda Land Commission (ULC) to appear before the legislators.
The officials include Prof. Pen Mogi Nyeko, Asuman Kyafu, Stella Achan, Rukiika Rujara, Charles Muhoozi, and others. Also summoned is the interdicted Secretary to ULC Barbara Imaryo.
The summons were issued by Kazo County MP, Dan Kimosho on Thursday after the commissioners failed to appear before his committee even after they had been formally invited.
According to Andrew Nyumba the ULC Secretary appeared before the committee saying that he has informed the Commissioners about the committee meeting and they told him that they would honor the invite.
The Tororo Woman MP Sarah Opendi said that the failure of the commissioners to appear could not be tolerated, demanding that these are summoned.
Kimosho directed the committee clerk to issue summons to all the Commissioners to appear on Monday next week together with Imaryo.
“I am really disturbed that we can talk to people verbally here… and then write again and come and tell us that they did not understand us. How best can we be understood?” Kimosho wondered before emphasizing that his committee is issuing summons to the Commissioners and the interdicted Secretary Imaryo.
Imaryo was in November last year together with the Chairperson of ULC Beatrice Byenkya ordered by the Inspector General of Government (IGG), Beti Kamya to step aside and allow investigations into allegations of corruption and abuse of office
