The minister of Lands, Housing and Urban Development, Ms Judith Nabakooba, has dispatched a team from Kampala to investigate land wrangles in Mityana, Kassanda and Mubende districts.
Last week, a four-man team commenced investigations with visiting most of the affected areas in the three districts.
However, the team was overwhelmed by accusations that police and local leaders were fuelling land evictions.
Led by Mr Abraham Luwalira, the chairperson of Uganda Bibanja Holders Association, the team started their probe from Kiteredde Village in Kiganda Sub-county, Mubende District.

A shaky makeshift bridge constructed by the community over River Ssezibwa on a major road that connects Mukono and Kayunga districts has put the lives of travellers at risk.
The bridge was constructed in 2019 using eucalyptus poles after torrential rains washed away the previous bridge on the Kyampisi-Kabimbiri road that had just been commissioned by President Museveni.
The section of the bridge that was washed away measures 60 metres.
The outgoing Kasawo Sub-county chairperson, Mr Badru Kafumbe, on Sunday said most poles that were used to construct the bridge, have now been submerged in water and the structure may collapse any time.
