The Attorney General William Byaruhanga has spoken out about ongoing allegations that he stole Nakasero Primary School land.

Byaruhanga was in December accused by Latif Ssebagala in parliament for stealing land and trying to sell it back to the government. While appearing in parliament, Byaruhanga denied the claims saying that they were unfounded claims.

“Hon. Ssebagala claimed that the lands comprised on plot 5B Mackinnon Road Plot 32 on Kyadondo Road, owned by Pine Investments Limited, a company which I had an interest in part of Nakasero Primary School land and it was taken under unclear circumstances and they are selling it back to the government,” Byaruhaga said.

He added that he was aware of the investigation that had been carried out stating that it exonerates Pine Investments. The reports show that lands in question have never had anything to do with Nakasero Primary School.”

Byaruhanga said he is a co-director in Pine Investments which owns the land being contested. He co-owns it with Charlie Lubega and Henry Lubwama.

Pine Investments, according to a report acquired a 99-year lease on plot 5B on Mackinnon Road.
