Candidates should prioritise compulsory land acquisition

Daily Monitor Friday January 08 2021 James Muhindo               Since 2014 when President Museveni was quoted to have mooted the idea of compulsorily acquiring land at the National Conference on Mineral Wealth, the debate has raged on and remains unsettled to date.  Whereas the Presidents’ proposal related to granting investors access to mineral-rich land, a position that is backed by Article 244 of the Constitution, the compulsory land acquisition conversation has since extended to other government projects and public works.   According to the Ministry of Lands, this move is informed by concerns from the Executive over delays of infrastructure and extractives projects due to prolonged land acquisition processes.
