Concerns are emerging around the Buyala landfill project after it was reported that a landowner signed for UGX 20 billion but ended up receiving a much smaller amount.
The land, located along Kampala–Mityana Road, is part of the site being developed by the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) as a replacement for the old Kiteezi landfill.
The entire project is budgeted at UGX 45 billion, including land acquisition and development.
It has now come to our notice, according to an anonymous whistleblower, that one of the landowners was allegedly involved in a quiet arrangement where the official payment figure recorded was UGX 20 billion, yet the actual amount paid out was far less.
The deal was reportedly handled in coordination with officials from KCCA and the ministry responsible for Kampala.

In our next article, we shall reveal the full details of this transaction, including the exact amount the landowner received.
This is a developing story……
