Over 50 people, including landlords and their tenants, risk eviction from a 2-acre piece of land in Kisenyi II village, Kamwokya II Parish, Central Division, Kampala. According to village chairperson Robert Odonkara Ameku, businessman Davis Kakwenzire accuses residents of building kiosks and temporary structures on his land without consent. Kakwenzire claims he bought the land in 2008 when it was vacant, a claim Ameku disputes, insisting residents will not relocate unless compensated. 🎥Mike Sebalu #MonitorUpdates
