The Buganda Land Board (BLB) has reaffirmed its commitment to securing land ownership on Kabaka’s land by extending its strategic partnership with FLY6 Technologies through the renewal of the LE-Card initiative.
The renewal was sealed through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Omuk. Simon Kabogoza, Chief Executive Officer of BLB, and Mr. Prakash Ivaturi, Chief Executive Officer of FLY6 Technologies, at the BLB headquarters in Kampala.
The LE-Card, which was first introduced in 2015, was developed jointly by BLB and FLY6 Technologies to help safeguard land documents for all individuals under Kabaka’s land tenure system. The card uses palm-vein technology, which both parties say is globally proven to effectively combat land fraud and impersonation.
“This renewed partnership underscores our unwavering commitment to protecting Bibanja holders and ensuring security of tenure on Kabaka’s land. With the LE-Card, land transactions are protected by technology and the rightful ownership of land is guaranteed,” said Omuk. Simon Kabogoza.
FLY6 Technologies CEO Prakash Ivaturi noted: “Our continued collaboration with Buganda Land Board is a testament to the success of this innovation. The palm-vein technology behind the LE-Card remains among the most secure in verifying ownership and ensuring transaction integrity.”
The LE-Card remains a critical tool in BLB’s broader strategy to safeguard landowner interests through innovation. It ensures that no land transaction proceeds without explicit authorization from BLB and consent from the registered landowner.
