Members of Parliament from Buganda have commended Central government for returning to Buganda kingdom at least 213 land tittles of properties that had been confiscated over 40 years ago.

This after President Museveni returned the titles for both Sub County and county land as part of the memorandum of Understanding signed between the Central Government and Mengo last year.

Godfrey Kiwanda Ssuubi, the Buganda Parliamentary Caucus Chairman also paid tribute to Buganda legislators and subjects for the resilience exhibited in demanding the return of Buganda Properties. Kiwanda also called for unity 8in demanding for what still remains in governments possession.

Sylvia Namabidde, the Mityana District Member of Parliament noted that the return of the 213 land titles to Mengo exhibits a flourishing relationship between the centre and the kingdom.

She noted that the challenge to leaders in the central region is to see that they continue encouraging people to uphold the togetherness currently witnessed between the two entities.

Kampala Central MP Muhammed Nsereko expressed gratitude at all persons who have ensured the assets are returned citing that the President has passed an important test of returning the assets and congratulated him upon this achievement.

He also reechoed an appeal for the return of the remaining properties.
