The story
KAMPALA — Operation Wealth Creation (OWC) Civil Coordinator for the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area, Edison Kirabira, has urged landowners, landlords, tenants and prospective land buyers to embrace the newly established Land Management Centre, describing it as a major step toward reducing land grabbing, fraudulent land transactions and ownership disputes across Uganda.
Kirabira made the remarks following the launch of the centre by Gen. Caleb Akandwanaho, popularly known as Salim Saleh, the Chief Coordinator of Operation Wealth Creation, at Matugga on Friday.

He described the initiative as a timely intervention aimed at strengthening land administration and protecting citizens from increasing cases of land fraud, forged land titles, illegal evictions and multiple sales of the same piece of land.
“Land remains one of Uganda’s most valuable assets, yet thousands of Ugandans continue to lose property through fraud, forged land titles and illegal transactions. The Land Management Centre will help restore confidence in land ownership and promote justice,” Kirabira said.
He noted that residents in rapidly developing areas, including Busabala and other parts of Greater Kampala, have repeatedly raised concerns over land grabbing and fraudulent transactions, making the establishment of the centre both necessary and timely.
Kirabira commended Gen. Saleh for prioritising issues affecting ordinary Ugandans, saying the initiative demonstrates leadership that responds to citizens’ concerns with practical solutions.
He added that, besides promoting wealth creation programmes, Operation Wealth Creation continues to support communities by addressing land conflicts, youth unemployment and poverty alleviation.
The Land Management Centre was officially commissioned by the State Minister for Local Government, Balaam Barugahara, who praised Gen. Saleh for championing reforms intended to protect landowners and investors.
