Police go silent on Ggwanga eviction Police have silently withdrawn from their resolve to evict Senior Presidential Adviser Kasirye Ggwanga from a house he is occupying following reports that President Museveni had intervened to find a solution to the problem. Deputy police spokesman Patrick Onyango declined to talk about why they are not executing the court order, saying he needs to consult with the officers handling the matter. A source close to Ms Christine Kakai, who claims to be the new owner of the disputed property in Makindye Division, said they were invited to Okello House, a wing of State House, for negotiations but no positive results have yielded. Ms Kakai claimed she bought the property from Bao Enterprises (E.A) Limited (estate of B.A Owalla), and she has a court order to evict Brig Ggwanga from the property. Mr Frank Balikuddembe, a bailiff hired by Ms Kakai to evict Brig Ggwanga, when contacted to shed light on the matter also could not comment, saying he needed time to consult his clients. A fortnight ago, Kampala Metropolitan Police commander Andrew Felix Kaweesi vowed to evict Brig Ggwanga from the house because owners of the house had supplied them with copies of a court order. Brig Ggwanga threatened to “teach a lesson” to any police officer who dared to evict him from the house. According to the Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence investigations, Brig Ggwanga took possession of the premises in 1990 when he was a director of Barracks and Stores at the National Resistance Army Headquarters with a government occupation permit. But Brig Ggwanga insists he holds standing lease from the Buganda Land Board.
