Kabalagala Central LCI Chairman James Kayondo survived being lynched by a group of angry youths accusing him of selling off their land.

The land in question is on 5 hectares located in Kabalagala Central.

The youths led by one Toney Buwande claim that the said land was given to them by the government in 1996.

Buwande who is the chairman for the Kampala Youth Association says Kayondo sold off their land to city tycoon Hassan Basajjabalaba for development without their consent.

Kayondo was yesterday beaten seriously when he barred the youths from stepping a foot on their land saying it was an order from KCCA to sell off the land for development.

Buwande tells RS that KCCA has no authority over their land and that they are going to look for a developer themselves.

The association has laid a foundation to fence off any encroachers on their land.
