Traders displaced as investor fences off part of Rushebeya Market land in Rukiga; leaders appeal to President

According to the Daily Monitor, hundreds of traders at Rushebeya Market in Rwamucucu Sub-county found part of the market land fenced off by an investor claiming ownership, and had to crowd into the remaining section. Traders and local leaders appealed to President Museveni to intervene, saying an earlier presidential directive to compensate the investor had not been implemented. The land was sold at auction in 2017 after the sub-county failed to pay a court award.
