According to the lawyer for Joy Ibaara, senior Counsel Paul Tusubira, they are ready to take on any one who dares take over the land including RDC Kyerere, Kitagata town council leaders among others.

The ministry of tourism earmarked money to develop Kitagata hot springs by providing  modern latrines, bath rooms, parking and the fence. This is according to the earlier interview with the RDC Frank Kyerere.

However, the public has rejected the offer by the ministry of Tourism and Kitagata town council on grounds that they want to steal the land.

Those who gathered there include; Bushenyi district chairman Jaffari Bassajabalaba, CEO Western Ankole Civil Society Forum Apollo Lee Kakonge, retired Senior Commissioner of Police Laban Muhabwe.
