List of individuals/ entities that have so far been paid off by the Uganda Land Fund and the amount of money each of these individuals/ entities have been paid and for which land (location and acreage) this money has been paid. The list should clearly indicate the dates, names of individuals/ entities, amounts involved in each transaction and modes of payment.
Request for: Uganda Land Fund Records
Submitted on: August 10, 2013
Background of the request
This Information Request was filed after receiving complaints from different individuals that the Uganda Land Fund which was basically established to pay off absentee landlords, was being misappropriated. Paying off absentee landlords would enable the current tenants of the land gain ownership and be able to develop that land. After denying us access to these records, HIM has sued government, and the case will be heard on 26th February, 2014.
