The commission of inquiry into land matters has ordered the arrest of senior registrar of titles in the land ministry.

Ajara Ataro was accused by lady Justice Catherine Bamugemereire, the head of the commission, of disrespecting the commission.

An apology had earlier been forced out of Ataro after she ‘discourteously’ answered questions put to her.

When Ataro remained defiant in her manner of answering the questions, Bamugemereire ordered: “You have been lying to us since yesterday. I am going to order those men [pointing at police officers] to take you to Wandegeya police station. Please follow those people; you should know we are not here to waste time.”
