Citizen sues govt over proposed Luzira Prison relocation

A citizen has sued the government, challenging the alleged move to relocate Luzira Prison to Buikwe District in a bid to pave the way for a commercial investment.

Mr Deus Arinaitwe has sued the Attorney General (AG), who is the chief legal adviser of the government, seeking orders and declarations that the actions of the accused parties are illegal.

He asserts the move also threatens the rule of law and good governance as it breaches the principles of ownership and compulsory acquisition of land under the law.

He sued the AG jointly with the investment company, Tian Tang Group Holdings Limited.

Mr Arinaitwe wants court to intervene and halt the relocation exercise.
