The Uganda National Oil Company (UNOC) has sought traditional guidance on the processes involved in exhuming, relocating, and reburying bodies whose graves have been found in the area where the government plans to construct Kabaale Industrial Park in Kabaale Sub-county, Hoima District, southwest of Hoima City. Mr Robert Mukondo, a Social Development Specialist (SDS) at UNOC, says some of the 7,000 Project Affected Persons who lost their relatives and buried them in that land have never been exhumed and relocated despite being compensated a decade ago.

Mubende, Uganda – More than 40 vendors, evicted from Mubende Central Market in 2020, stormed the Municipal Council offices this week, demanding compensation, transparency, and answers after four years of delays and broken promises surrounding a contentious market redevelopment project.

The displaced traders say they were forced out with the promise of priority allocation in the new market. Each vendor reportedly paid UGX 420,000 for a stall—but four years later, they have received neither refunds nor stall allocations.
