The Minister of Lands, Ms Beti Olive Kamya, has halted the planned eviction of more than 10,000 locals from a 12,737 acre piece of land in Ndoi Village, Kitwaara Sub-county in Kiryandongo District.
Ms Kamya made the declaration during a meeting with the affected persons in Nyamitete in Mutunda Sub-county in Kiryandongo on Friday.
The land in contention, which is divided into six ranches, was given to three companies in 2017 by President Museveni to pave way for large scale farming.
