The Church of Uganda has successfully regained ownership of its prime property in Luzira thanks to the Inspector General of Government’s (IGG) intervention.
The IGG launched an investigation following a complaint about fraudulent activities related to Plot 107 on Old Port Bell Road. Probes revealed that Land Registration Department officials had illegally issued a special certificate of title to businessman Meddie Mayega Nyago, even though the original title was held by the Church’s Registered Trustees.
The IGG ordered the Commissioner for Land Registration to revoke the special title, issued on October 28, 2022, under instrument KCCA–00098130. This action restored the Church’s proprietary rights.
A search report from March 9, 2026, verified that the Registered Trustees of the Church of Uganda are now listed as the lawful owners on the National Land Information System (NLIS).
This recovery offers significant relief to the Church, which has dealt with multiple property disputes across Uganda in recent years.
