Lands ministry launches nationwide Government Land Inventory to document public land

The Observer reported that Minister of State for Lands Harriet Ntabazi announced the Comprehensive Government Land Inventory at the Uganda Media Centre, a nationwide exercise to identify, verify and register government-owned land in one database. According to the ministry, only about 26 per cent of government land is titled. Ntabazi said the programme, to be led by the Uganda Land Commission, is not a land acquisition exercise and will not affect private property.
