Even after the March 09, 2020 court, a woman claiming to be working with the State House is continuing to haunt residents of Kyadondo Block 185 Plot 385 (formerly Block 185 Plot 8151, 8152, 8153 and 81544) belonging to 85-year-old Alice Nabitosi and Yusuf Semakula.

The impostor has been identified as Hasifa Namukasa.

Namukasa is said to be guarded by men in plain clothes reportedly attached to Internal Security Organization (ISO).

Other offices in her company her those attached to Police’s Field Force Unit (FFU).

Besides the above, sources close to Namukasa say she brags about being President Yoweri Museveni’s daughter and as such, he (Museveni) is a phone call away.

THE CLASH

On Wednesday, sources say Namukasa deployed Field Force Police officers on the said land.

The deployment was followed by escalator that rolled on the same land, to ready it.

However, acting on this intelligence, the Inspector General of Police, Martins Okoth Ochola has Thursday morning intervened.

This, with fresh deployment.

Well-placed sources say the IGP has also reached out to Internal Affairs Minister for better measures to handle the matter.

In the meantime, the IGP has instructed Police’s Director, Legal Services, AIGP Erasmus Twaruhukwa to write to all units of the force to desist from deploying on the said land until the determination of the High Court order.

GENESIS

This wrangle is not new, at least to this news site.

Just recently, Kira Municipality Resident District Commissioner (RDC) was named in the kidnap of Bernard Kanakulya, a member of the family of the late Anthony Sewattiand.

This family, through Nabitosi is currently battling two people in a bibanja land row at Kito, Kira Municipality, Wakiso district.

The kidnap, according to lawyers of Kikomeko, Kayiira & Co. Advocates was reported against the RDC Vide SD Ref 72/11/19/2019 of Kira Division Police.

“We understand that the purpose of the unlawful kidnaps are to provide grounds for kifeesi surrogate gangs to forcefully fence off the said bibanja in favor of the said Winnie Tugume Hasifa Namukasa,” part of the petition to Premier, Ruhakana Rugunda reads in part.

The letter dated March 24, 2020 added, “Our clients concur is that, currently the RDC comes to our client’s land in company of persons he introduces as official operatives from the President’s office (Aidah Tegeki), they miss-interpret the court orders and dictate that the said Winnie Tugume and Hasifa Namukasa should take over possession of our clients’ bibanja more so over matters that are being litigated by court.”

This, lawyers said, has resulted into Sekasamba and Namukasa slashing their clients’ gardens down in broad day light.

Now, lawyers say they need intervention of government.

“The purpose hereof is to seek for your indulgence as the vanguard of the law to call in the relevant government institutions officials to operate within but not to abuse the law and to respect the rights of our clients and the institutions from which they obtained legitimate help,” lawyers say.

For some time now, Nabitosi, has accused Winnie Tugume and Hasifa Namukasa of plotting to grab her land comprised at Kyadondo Block 185, Plot 385 at Kito, Kira Division, Namugongo.

“The families of our clients have lived on their bibanja for over 50 years but one of their neighbors a one Hezekiah Mukiibi who was a surveyor for their Landlords of the estate of the late KLB Kisosonkole fraudulently acquired titles on some sections of their land and he attempted to use them to grab their land,” Nabitosi’s lawyers traced the root of the land row.

According to the two page letter, with the assistance of court, local leaders, previous RDCs declined to hold unlawful evictions and as a result, Mukiibi was investigated and repulsed.

Nabitosi’s lawyers now say she lives in fear given actions of Ssekasamba.

“…Mr. Joseph Ssekasamba became RDC of the area, he started corruptly conspiring with the said Hezekiah Mukiibi, Winnie Tugume together with another habitual land grabber called Hasifah Namukasa and are back at their attempts to unlawfully deprive our cients including 85 year old Nabitosi Alice of their bibanja through causing fear using intimidation/threats of arresting our clients,” her lawyers noted.

As a result of this letter, Ssekasamba was dropped and transferred to Kyenjojo as Deputy RDC.
