The Acting Inspector General of Government Raphael Baku has blocked Kabale district from utilizing the land allocated to Kabale University until his office investigates the matter.
In his letter dated 22nd august 2011 Baku says the 101 acre piece of land located Kicwongere should remain in the hands of Kabale University until his office has done its investigation.
The IGG was responding to petition addressed to the inspectorate by Professor George Kanyaihamba the Chancellor kabala university.
Kanyahaimba petitioned the IGG on 25th of July 2011 asking him to block Kabale district from selling the land allocated to the university.
In his letter Kanyahaimba, contends that without 101 Acre of land, the university license would be revoked by national council for higher education.
However the kabale district council has dismissed the IGGs letter saying it is only the district that can place caveat on the land which has its title.
The IGGs letter comes after the kabale district council voted to halt activities on the land. This not the first time kabala university is dragging the district to the IGG over the sale of the said land.
In 2007 Kabale University petitioned the then IGG Faith Monda over the same land.
