Government has finally commenced the verification of land owners in Amuru Sugar Works Project area in Amuru district. The Sugar works project is a joint venture between Madhvani Group of Companies and the government of Uganda. The project has stalled for at least eight years due to a bitter ownership dispute with locals who claim the area as customary land.
Roland Mugume, the Rukungiri Municipality MP and deputy Opposition Chief Whip explained to the residents that they traveled to Apaa to gather evidence on the excessive force used by security agencies during the boundary demarcation exercise.
