City businessman Hamis Kiggundu aka Ham has given up on the 142 acres of prime land in Kigo, saying he can’t fight with Buganda and the Kabaka.
At the begining of this month, Hamis Kiggundu released a video showing an artistic impression of a sports complex named Hamz Sports Club, he intended to build in Kigo.
Hamz Sports Club accommodates 3 football pitches, 2 training grounds and one standard football pitch with a running lane, 2 Olympic size swimming pools, world class gym, 4 basketball courts, 4 tennis courts, 4 netball courts, all indoor games from badminton, squash, table tennis to board games, hostels and hotel with a grade 4 medical health facility.
As the work commenced on the road leading to the Sports Complex, Buganda officials intervened and told Ham that the land belongs to them.
Today, ham visited Buganda Land Board offices and told them he has given up on the disputed land despite paying huge sums of money to acquire it.
“We and Buganda are one and the same. I am a Muganda, investing in Buganda, so I don’t see why there should be any differences between us.”
He added; “It is for that reason that ever since this matter started you have not heard me attacking Buganda kingdom.”
Ham asserted that he bought the land from Wakiso District Land Board, from where he acquired the title deeds to the same.
He revealed that he held a meeting with the Buganda Land Board team led by Prince David Wasajja with intent to take surveyors to the contested land to open up the boundaries that demarcate his land and that of Buganda Kingdom but they rejected the idea.
A distraught Ham therefore said that he had resolved to give up on the land because he could not fight the Kabaka.
“As a Muslim and as a Muganda, what I have decided is this; if they claim that the land is theirs, who am I as Kiggundu to fight the Kabaka. All I want is to preserve my respect as a Muganda and a Muslim. I will not fight for that land anymore,” Ham noted.
