The High Court in Masindi has blocked the commissioner of land
registration from cancelling a land title belonging to Kampala
businessman Francis Kahwa.

Following Kahwa’s petition to court justice Kintu Simon Ziritunsa on 10th of April 2019 issued a temporary injunction against the commissioner of land registration and his agents from implementing a decision to cancel Kahwa’s land title.

This is in respect to property comprised in LRV 3539 FOLIO 17 Bugahya block 1 plot 2 at Runga- Kakoma, Kigorobya, Hoima district.

Court also ordered the commissioner of land registration from not
interfering with Kahwa’s use of the land in suit until the
disposal of the Misc cause No. 13 of 2017 or until otherwise directed
by this honorable Court.

Kahwa was also awarded cost of the suit and was represented in court
by M/S KMA advocates.

Kahwa said that he had previous been disturbed by various locals supported by politicians in the area to invade his land.

The business man bought the land in 2008 which was by then measuring
approximately 806 hectares from Abatereine Burwe- Kakoma group limited and that it was free from squatters.
