Many people have been asking what is happening with land tittles at the moment in Uganda. Why the system of getting a land title is so slow?

But the land ministry spokesman Denis Obbo says that the ministry is changing the land titles from manual to the computerized system. He says that there is great demand for land titles by people using the manual system and those digitalizing the titles.

Obbo, while speaking to the press in Kampala, said that the ministry has a new procedure for retrieval by those land titles that have been digitalized in order to ensure that they are transacted upon.

During the digitalizing process, the ministry also discovered what we would call ‘problematic titles’ that require rectification and completion before they are digitalized. Some have double plotting – different parcels but with the same identification codes, others signed but not sealed etc.
