Kabale – The deputy RDC Kabale district Mr. Bakaki Ronald has urged the public to respect the Land Act if they want to stop land conflicts in the district.
He made this call Tuesday while addressing journalists at the district headquarters in Kabale municipality.
Bakaki stressed that he has registered more than 30 cases of land conflicts within two months he has been in office.
He noted that most people in Kabale and Uganda at large do not respect the land Act, saying that the law does not discriminate gender but instead it calls for equality in families whereby both males and females should have share on their parent’s land.
He added that most of the cases are between family members saying that you find children accusing their parents of not giving them shares on their land, and advised them to desist from such mentality.
Bakaki urged parents to always make wills or divide their land among their children in time in order to avoid conflicts among when they die.
He further warned the youth against forcing their parents to give them shares but instead request them in good faith or go and work hard in order to have their own land.
Bakaki also called upon parents to educate their children saying that once a child is educated, he/she will not go back to his parents questing for land but instead he will make his own money and buy land.
Has called upon leaders at all levels to work together and sensitize their people about the land Act in order to reduce or end land conflict in their areas o jurisdiction.
