The boundary opening exercise for Bugoma forest in Kikuube district western Uganda has resumed.
This after the exercise was halted by the district security committee led by the Kikuube Resident District Commissioner, RDC Amlan Tumusiime after stakeholders complained that the boundary reopening team was not following the guidelines issued earlier.
The exercise kicked off on 17th February with the sensitisation of different stakeholders.

The claimants submit their documents to the office the Chief Administrative Officer- Kikuube and Bunyoro Kitara Kingdom lands offices.
Ogaro asked stakeholders to send representatives to join the team of surveyors before the exercise kicks off.

John Apolo Rwamparo, the first Deputy Prime Minister Bunyoro Kitara Kingdom says the Kingdom will verify all documents from people who claim that the kingdom gave them land.
