Uganda is begging landowners to literally just pick up their paperwork to fix traffic. Gen Katumba Wamala wants residents in central Uganda to retrieve land titles from state archives because construction on the Matugga Kasangati Kira Kyaliwajjala corridor is stalling out hard.
Wamala showed up at that urban project to hand over documents where the ministry already sliced off the bits they needed for the network. He claims officials are hoarding deeds from multiple past jobs, like the Katosi Mityana Road, and wants them gone.
The minister insists affected locals need to hit up the acquisition team to trace and verify records immediately. The state takes a piece from the main deed for paving while the holder keeps the rest, but this only works if humans actually show up.
About 821 deeds are tied up in just that one massive Matugga project, with only 392 processed. Engineers claim unresolved acquisition issues are wrecking timelines since work cannot happen until everyone gets paid and access is secured.
Officials blame the mess on missing funds, absentee landlords, and family fights over inheritance. Construction is totally stuck on the affected sections until these property headaches get sorted out for good.
