Government is going to refund business man Marded Kiconco for his land to save people of Lussanja from losing their places of aboard.

This comes after the businessman Medard Kiconco allegedly acted on a fake court order to evict over 500 people from Lussanja on the land they had occupied for more than a decade.  High Court judge, Justice Tadeo Asiimwe in his Ruling clarified that Kiconco was the lawful owner which people of Lussanja refused saying it was not done in good faith and called President to help.

Meanwhile Namuganza also warned people planning to block it’s directive to take over all public Markets.
