By Francis Otucu

The Registrar of Titles, Wakiso Land Zonal offices is under fire for failing to lodge caveats on Block 185 Plot 385 Kyadondo.

Already, lawyers of Kikomeko, Kayiira & CO. Advocates have written to the Director, Criminal Investigations over the conduct of Sarah Nakiwoolo.

This news site understands the letter dated July 9, 2020 was received at the CID headquarters, Kibuli on July 15, 2020.

“We are advocates for Nabitosi Alice herein referred to as our “Client” on whose instructions we address you and seek your urgent attention as hereunder;” the lawyers wrote, in line with the long standing battling between 85-year old Nabitosi and those after her land at Namugongo, Wakiso district.

“Our client is a kibanja holder on part of land comprised in Kyadondo Block 185 Plot 385 at Kito, Kira, Namugongo and the neighboring plots. (Copies of the Court decree and permanent injunction are attached and marked as annextures “a” & “B” respectively,” part of the letter reads.

The letter adds, “As you are perfectly aware, drawing from our previous correspondences to your office, the above –mentioned land and bibanja thereon are a subject of conflict following numerous failed attempts by Ms. Winnie Tugume to evict our Client and other bibanja holders.”

Against the above background, Nabitosi wants the CID to act on Nakiwoolo for deliberately failing to lodge caveats on Block 185 Plot 385.

On June 1, 2020, the same lawyers wrote to the registrar blocking any person from transferring titles of the said land or acting on any instrument affecting Nabitosi’s estate or interest without authorization. This letter was received on June 5, 2020 at Zonal offices, Wakiso. The letter was followed by another to the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development, asking the ministry to act on Tugume and Hasifa Namukasa who according to letter. Have been plotting to grab the said land. According to letter, Nabitosi’s lawyers are concerned that their client is under continued threat from the Tugumes. The lawyers are also concermed by deliberate failure by the CID office at Kira Police Division for failing to investigate the murder of Ashraf Byaka on the said landViide Kira Division GEF 02/2020 while Tugume and Namukasa and their agents continue to disturb Nabitosi’s peace over own land.

“Our clients filed caveats on 5th of June to Wakiso Lands Registry but up to now they’re not completed on the system only to get bullied by Namukasa Hasifa that they’re going to be vacated in a matter of time,” part of the letter reads, explaining the reason for writing to the ministry. “The purpose of this letter is to request 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.”
