MPs from the Physical Infrastructure Committee have recommended the immediate demolition of commercial buildings allegedly built on the green belt of Igangaโ€™s Freedom Square.

The chairman of the parliamentโ€™s physical infrastructure committee, Robert Kasolo, said members had discovered the buildings had been constructed on land designated as public land.

โ€œIganga Municipal Council authorities made a mistake by renting out land to powerful businessmen in the town to illegally build buildings,โ€ Kasolo said.

The green belt is public land used for holding social events such as weddings or places or for leisure activities.
