“Dr Kizza Besigye has revealed that a proposal by the ruling party to have express powers to develop any private land is a ploy to grab people’s possession. While addressing a news conference at his home in Kasangati, Wakiso district, Besigye said if passed as an amendment into law, this proposal will contravene the Constitution. During a Cabinet retreat at the National Leadership Institute Kyankwanzi last weekend, the NRM leaders mulled over an amendment to the Land Act, which gives government powers to acquire any land from private owners” (NTV Uganda, 2016)
