Hon Sam Mayanja, the State Minister for lands has further confirmed that indeed the four business moguls are under investigation over alleged illegal land deals.

Mayanja joined the Inspector General of Governments (IGG) Hon. Betty Kamya who firmed receiving the Directive from the president.

Museveni said that the four business tycoons including; Sudhir Ruparelia, Godfrey Kirumira, Ephraim Ntaganda, and Hassan Basajja Balaba are involved in illegal land deals.

He said that the land is owned by the government but these moguls took over, constructed buildings, and again rented some to the government. Kamya confirmed that the president ordered this investigation.

“These individuals are colluding with Lands Registry in creating fake land titles in wetlands,  gazetted forest reserves, lake, and river shores and on all public lands, where planned infrastructure like roads, railways, and power lines are due,”
