MASAKA: The State House Anti-Corruption Unit (SH-ACU) continues to achieve notable success in the battle against corruption as exemplified by the recent arrest of Kasirye Elias, a well-known land dealer and lender in Masaka.

Mr Kasirye, notorious for unlawfully evicting individuals through deceptive court orders, was finally captured by the Brig Henry Isoke led SH-ACU investigators working alongside the Uganda police following a series of complaints regarding his illegal actions.

Kasirye, primarily operating in Lukaya, faced legal consequences as he was brought before the Masaka chief Magistrate on October 28, 2024.

He was charged with multiple offenses, including causing harm, forcible entry, illegal eviction, and theft. The prosecution disclosed that Kasirye colluded with the daughters of the late Lukwago Francis to fabricate a retroactively dated agreement in 2018, falsely asserting ownership of land with eucalyptus trees. This fraudulent agreement aimed to unjustly dispossess Mr. Paul Walakira, the legitimate occupant of the land.

It was revealed in court that Kasirye utilized the falsified sales agreement to acquire a land title. In a bold move this year, he proceeded to forcibly evict Walakira, destroying trees, selling them off, and changing the land’s status without legal authorization. Despite refuting the allegations, Kasirye was detained until November 5, 2024, when he is set to stand trial for his transgressions.

The devoted efforts of SH-ACU in uncovering and arresting figures like suspects showcase a dedication to upholding justice, combating corruption, and safeguarding citizens’ rights from exploitation and deceit within the domain of land transactions.
