Saturday 6th Feb was set for the land inspection by the land committee in order to process a Land Title for the land meant for the piggery for Silent Voices.
Unfortunately enough... with the history of the land... Lions Bushenyi had to be present as well, and moreover had to sign the forms in order to allow the Land Committee to bring out a positive advice to the Land Board.
Despite everybody's prayers, and the overdose of optimism amongst some of you... what i feared became reality: Lions Bushenyi pulled up in the biggest numbers (yet ever since November they held no meetings because of the zero turn out) and hijacked the meeting. The 6 lions showed no respect for the Land Committee members, neither to 'Silent Voices'- beneficiary, or to Thur Olav - who had traveled from Kampala as 'donor representative' and didn't allow any of the other stakeholders to make a point.
Result?? A negative advice from the Committee and a referral to the Court...
How we will continue?? Let's take time to let the current situation sink in, take time to discuss and receive feedback from members from LCBS and 'Silent Voices'... than after we shall report again.
