Authorities in Kabale District are expressing growing worry over the rising trend of land fragmentation within households.
They observe that the practice is becoming more prevalent, particularly when the head of the family passes away.
Ronald Bakak, the Deputy Resident Commissioner of Kabale, vehemently opposes this practice, emphasizing that dividing land into smaller plots, particularly among children, after the death of the family head, adversely affects food production and contributes to hunger.
Bakak urgently calls for an immediate halt to this practice, urging the youth and other members of the community within the district to refrain from engaging in land fragmentation.
Instead, he advises the younger generation to work diligently and invest in securing their properties, rather than engaging in disputes over inherited land.
