The landslide victims at Bunambutye resettlement site in Bulambuli District are protesting the decision by the district leaders to allocate them one acre of land for farming instead of the two that had been proposed by the government.
They are mistreating us and now they are proposing to give us one acre instead of two," Mr Nathan Wilson Wanasolo, the chairperson of the landslide victims, said.
Mr David Watasa, another victim and the secretary for education at the site, added that some of the leaders have threatened them with evictions should they reject the one acre of land.
One of the district leaders said they received money amounting to Shs400 million for ploughing the land from OPM this financial year but the contract was given to one of the leaders with limited manpower.
The Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), Mr Andrew Chelangat, acknowledged in an interview with Daily Monitor that they received Shs400 million for ploughing the land for the victims.
