Nakasero traders are demanding Shs300 billion if the government is to repossess both the land and the facility.
Their demand has been triggered by Cabinet’s resolution to have all public markets in Kampala repossessed by government to mitigate management wrangles.
The traders through their lawyer, Mr Paul Kenneth Kakande, argue that traders they have a 49-year lease on the land and that the abrupt takeover will cause losses to the traders.
The vendors acquired the lease from Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) at Shs2b and were required to pay ground rent of Shs90m, annually.

NAIROBI, KENYA: The government has moved to boost efficiency in land valuation to cope with increased transaction more at the county level.
Ministry of Land on Friday published the names of private valuers to carry out a valuation for stamp duty in an approach necessitated by the need to reduce the turnaround time for the return of valuation figures.
The ministry also hopes to boost government revenue and improve ease of doing business due to the wide reach of private valuers.
Previously the valuation to determine the value of land in Kenya for purposes of calculating Stamp Duty payable has been a preserve of the Chief Government Valuer.
