Masaka zonal land officer arrested over 265 alleged illicit titles
Colbert Tamale Zziwa is accused in connection with a bundle of titles that allegedly included shrinking an 83-acre estate linked to former vice-president Ssekandi.
Police have arrested Masaka’s zonal senior land officer, Colbert Tamale Zziwa, over 265 titles investigators describe as illicit. Public reports say the file includes an allegation that an 83-acre estate associated with former Vice-President Edward Ssekandi was shrunk on paper. The arrest is part of a wider week of land-office cases, with another officer from Ssembabule already on remand. Land titles are how families lose shambas without a night raid. If the Masaka numbers hold, it is one of the larger alleged paper thefts in recent months. _Based on national court and police reporting, 13 August 2026._
