The Leader of Opposition in Parliament, Honorable Winfred Kiiza, wants government to explain the delayed development of Naguru estates in Nakawa division, now six years after it was given to an investor.
Kiiza who is also Kasese district Woman MP raised the matter on the floor of parliament on behalf of the area MP Micheal Kabaziguruka who is still in jail over cases of treason in a session chaired by the Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Kadaga.
The legislator backed by the Member of Parliament for Bukoto East, Florence Namayanja, says that although land had been ear-marked for development under harsh circumstances that left hundreds of people homeless following forceful evictions, it remains un-occupied without any signs for development.
Kiiza said that the residents are complaining of their security since this place is now too bushy posing a risk of them being attacked by thieves and snakes from it.
Naguru estate was contracted to OPEC for the construction of Satellite cities and low cost houses in 2010 while Shimon Demonstration schools were demolished in 2005 for a hotel to accommodate for Common Wealth Heads of State Visitors in 2007 but both areas remain idle and only housing iron bar hit men and thugs.
The speaker has tasked government to come up with an explanation on this matter by Thursday this week.
