Nakyanzi Madrine a resident of Kigoma village Kalagi Sub County in Kyankwanzi district has raised concerns over delayed compensation which has dragged on for four leaving them in limbo.
Nakyanzi says she was initially evaluated in 2021 with promises of payment within six months, but up-to-date no one has received compensation.
She expressed fear that some of them might miss out on the final compensation after some reports indicating that their counterparts in other districts have already been compensated.
Nakyanzi highlighted the hardships she has endured living in a makeshift house for four years due to restrictions on construction by EACOP officials. She has threatened legal action if compensation is not forthcoming.
She says many reports have been made to various authorities in the district but have seen little progress.
She called for fair compensation to cover the four years of waiting, arguing that their lives were disrupted by the project’s implementation.
Asuman Ssembatya, the parish chairperson for Nabulembeko Parish in Kyankwanzi district also the NRM secretary for Kyankwanzi said as a leader he has been following on community issues resulting from displacement arising out of the EACOP.
“We have started writing a petition and an MOU with all the affected PAPs in Kiboga and Kyankwanzi calling for President Museveni to intervene since all the local leaders have failed to help,” Ssembatya said.
Muhindo Brenda also a resident says none of the leaders in the district has help in her having the compensation since the rates were made.
“I have never received any help from the EACOP officials, i have moved from one office at the district level because it’s where i can stop but no one has given me attention. But i thank Community Green radio for standing with us because whenever the officials listen to the voice the come and talk to us giving promises,” Muhindo said.
