Wakiso Officials Deny District Role in Alleged Lubigi Wetland Giveaway

Leaders in Wakiso District have firmly distanced themselves from rumors suggesting that a portion of the Lubigi wetland has been handed over for the establishment of an industrial park. The allegations, which have gained traction across various social media platforms, claim that the government plans to convert the ecologically sensitive area for industrial development.

In response to the circulating reports, district officials have challenged anyone promoting these claims to present concrete evidence linking the district administration to any land allocation in the wetland. The rumors have sparked significant anxiety among local residents, especially individuals who were previously affected by widespread evictions in the area.

The Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) has taken a stern stance against the allegations, threatening potential legal action over the claims that implicate the district in the alleged wetland giveaway. District authorities maintain that they have no part in any such plans and continue to emphasize the protection of environmental resources.
