[UAH] State Minister for Lands Aida Nantaba given more powers

Dennis,
President Museveni has ordered the Lands Ministry to take over the monitoring of all land conflicts that were previously being handled by the State House Land Unit. The Presidents directive has given a newly established Land Committee the authority to monitor land conflicts across the Country. The Committee is headed by the State Minister for Lands Aida Nantaba.

He finally realised that he cant be the security guard, engineer, marketeer and cleaner simultaneously. I welcome the change but i hope the institutions are empowered and most importantly that this has not come too late.I think here the Ministry is going to use Lc 1's to settle these land wrangles.Am expecting the need for pay from the Ministry if at all Lc 1's are used to play a pivotal role here!

Please help us about the issues of the Late Eng Kasolo Joseph Dp founder<<0701879689

In my view the binding agreement is between the buyer and the seller. When the two do a sales agreement, they include their own witnesses who may include the LCs.

  

LCs witnessing on Sales agreements may be for security reasons – to know the buyer and for the buyer to know the area's local leaders. They also may provide the buyer with valuable information e.g incase of multiple sales on the same piece of land.

 

Thereafter, when you begin the process of 'chasing a land title,' the Seller and the buyer must sign a Land transfer, which has a provision for witnesses.

 

All witnesses on the Land transfer form are required to: state their names clearly; provide their telephone contacts and e-mail address if available, in addition to the Postal address; and clearly state their qualification. In case of Civil Servants witnessing, one must be of the rank of (U5B) and above i.e. Graduate level, rank and; should state the Ministry/ Department/Agency where he/she works; In case of Private Surveyors they must be registered and licensed with Uganda Surveyors Registration Board; and In case of Advocates they must be licensed to practice law in any given year and should be on the roll of Advocates.

 

LCs therefore do not witness on the Land transfer form, but may do so on your sales agreement.

Subject: LAND AGREEMENT QUESTION

 

Hello,
Is a land agreement made between the buyer and seller legally binding without witnesses or LCs? Put it this way, i bought land for shs.20m. Paid shs.17m infront of LCs and witnesses. But when it came to the balance of shs.3m, the seller asked us to meet at Equatorial hotel and we signed the agreement there because he did nto want to pay LCs more money. Is it legally binding? Can i use it to chase a land tittle?
