The Budadiri West County MP, Mr Nathan Nandala Mafabi, and his Serere counterpart, Mr Patrick Okabe, have clashed over a piece of land in Mbale Town with each claiming ownership.
Mr Nandala, who is also the secretary general for Forum for Democratic Change party, reportedly acting on a tip-off that Mr Okabe was fencing off the land, mobilised youth to block any activity on the contested land.
I wonder why Mr Okabe is trespassing on my land," Mr Nandala told police.
Mr Okabe claims he got the land from Mbale District land board and has a title for it.
A senior lands officer at Mbale District Local government, who preferred anonymity because he is not authorised to speak to the press, said Mr Okabe has a genuine land title.
