{UAH} UGANDAN SCHOOLS

JOHN KWITONDA AND FRANK MUJABI, Dr KAYONDO

What is happening with the schools in Kampala? This theft of schools
started with the Nabegeraka School and it seems it is now spreading
allover Kampala. Who is protecting the interests of the schools? These
schools are supposed to have protected land titles issued by the
Uganda Land Commission, or by Mengo so why are unkown people stealing
school land and selling them off to people with money? Why should it
be MPs to intervene and not Jeniffer Musisi of KCC or the Ministry of
Education or Mengo?

KAMPALA.

Some schools in Kampala have been squeezed into remaining with only
classrooms as land for playgrounds and co-curricula activities is
given away to investors.

Schools including the Nabagereka Primary School, Nateete Muslim
Primary School, Buganda Road Primary School; Kitante Primary School
and the Nakasero Primary School, are all managed by the Kampala
Capital City Authority.

Each school, according to KCCA records, has a population of not less
than 1,000 pupils. A Parliamentary probe committee investigating the
giveaway of city schools' land on Wednesday ordered KCCA to put
caveats on all the contested land.

The six-man select committee probing the demolition of Nabagereka
Primary School and other public schools in Kampala learnt that most of
the playgrounds for the schools such as Kitante, Nakasero and Buganda
Road have been sold.

This prompted the parliamentarians to issue the directive for a caveat
during a visit to the affected schools.

Mr Robert Migadde Ndugwa, the Buvuma Island legislator and committee
head, also ordered KCCA to pull down all the fences that were erected
on the school's land that is under contention.

"We don't want double standards in these matters. If KCCA is the
rightful owner of the land, then use your constitutional prerogatives
and put caveats on that land with immediate effect, until the matter
is resolved," Mr Migadde instructed.

At the Nateete Muslim PS, the former head teacher, Mr Muhammad
Katumba, claims part of the school's land belonged to his father and
he is the only surviving beneficiary. He has since turned some classes
into his residence and KCCA's attempt to vacate him yielded nothing.

MPs were stunned on learning that the Buganda Road playground was
given to Jima Properties (U) Ltd, owned by Mr Ibrahim Kibirige of BMK
