Residents of Buikwe County south are set to sue government over its failure to compensate them for their lost land in a road constriction project.
According to the area MP Lulume Bayigga government told the residents to vacate their homes and properties in favor of Kyetume-Katosi and Nkokonjeru –Kisoga Nyenga road construction but until now nothing has been done.

The residents are filling their case through Ambrose and company Advocates
“It’s now 5 years since parliament approved the budget of constructing our roads but nothing has been done, apart from light grading the 74km roads.” He added
