In Sheema—

Edmund Rurangaranga the son to the late Maj. Gen. Edward Rurangaranga has vowed to sue Kitagata town council for demolishing a market he had constructed to help residents.

Edmund told www.mknewslink.com in a telephone interview from London that he had constructed the market on his land but not on NEMA’s as alleged.

The town clerk for Kitagata town council Sylivia Nampe Bategana told www.mknewslink.com that she has severally warned Rurangaranga both verbally and in writing to demolish the market but all in vain.

She added that she finally called in NEMA from regional office in Mbarara to come and demolish the market which they did.
