Minister Threatens Arrest of Busoga Prime Minister in Jinja Land Row
State Minister for Lands Sam Mayanja has ordered the arrest of Busoga Kingdom Prime Minister Joseph Muvawala and associates over alleged illegal evictions in Jinja, sparking a sharp rebuttal from the kingdom leadership.
The State Minister for Lands, Dr Sam Mayanja, has returned land to residents of Kainogoga and Buwekula villages in Northern Division, Jinja City, after they accused Busoga Kingdom officials of orchestrating illegal evictions.
Residents told the minister during a meeting on the disputed land that they had endured harassment for more than a decade, including assaults and raids allegedly sanctioned by the Busoga Kingdom Prime Minister, Joseph Muvawala.
They said eviction attempts had targeted families who have lived on the land for generations.
Following the testimonies, Dr Mayanja directed police to arrest all individuals involved in the evictions, including Muvawala himself, arguing that cultural leaders and their agents lack constitutional authority to enforce land orders.
