{UAH} Law, Elite and the Poor - The African State

The Water Act

Nema Act

Biodiversity Act

The new directive comes at a time when wetlands around Kampala have been heavily encroached on by developers, some of whom are believed to enjoy connections with powerful officials in government.

"These titles in wetlands were issued by the government. There is no law to regulate the wetlands and the minister is just talking politics," said Mr Eddie Kwizera, the chairperson Parliamentary Forum on Climate Change.

The minister, who faced a torrid time in the committee, maintained that "all actions are within the context of the law" and that the Attorney General had cleared the planned cancellation.
