Uganda Scouts Association official arraigned in court for alleged land grab
KAMPALA — In a multi-agency operation, authorities have arrested an official of a splinter group of the Uganda Scouts Association for allegedly seizing a scout campsite.
Muledhu David, identified as the National Executive Secretary of the so-called Uganda Boys Scouts Association, was brought before the Makindye Magistrate’s Court this evening.
He faces multiple charges, including unlawful occupation of land, malicious damage to property, and conspiracy to commit a felony.
Muledhu is the eighth individual to be charged in connection with the incident. He joins seven other scout leaders who were previously arraigned in the same case.
The group is accused of forcibly taking over the National Camping and Scouts Centre in Kaazi–Busaabala on June 24, 2025.
According to reports, the group’s actions disrupted the operations of the Uganda Scouts Association and resulted in significant property damage. Muledhu has been remanded until September 1, 2025.
The arrest and arraignment were a joint effort by the State House Anti-Corruption Unit, the Criminal Investigations Directorate, and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions.
