Members of Parliament on Foreign Affairs Committee of Parliament have been shocked to learn that the land titles for the Ugandan mission in South Africa and the Ambassadors residence are missing!

Surprisingly both the current and former ambassadors denying to have ever seen these titles while in office.

The revelation was made by Andrew Nyumba the Acting Secretary Uganda Land Commission today while appearing before the Committee!

“We actually got a request from Ministry of Foreign Affairs last week to avail these titles. We have checked in all our titles, unfortunately, we haven’t been able to come across the titles for the chancellery in Pretoria and the official residency. I talked to the current Ambassador Paul Amoru, he told me he has never seen those titles, but he agreed that he can conduct a search with the deeds office in South Africa, and if necessary, they can obtain a substitute,” said Andrew Nyumba, Acting Secretary, ULC.

This prompted MPs to ask him to make a written submission!
