In the last couple of days, this website has received a lot of inquiries from Canadians whose families lived in Uganda before President Idi Amin expelled Asians in the early 1970s.
This group of people went ahead a forged a new life in Europe and North America. Today, Asians form more than 5 per cent of Canada’s gross domestic product.
In the 1980s, the Uganda government resolved to return property which was owned by the departed Asians. A Custodians Board was formed to manage the process, which unfortunately, has been mismanaged over the years.
It has also emerged that some individuals who were entrusted to manage these properties with powers of attorney turned against the owners, and refused to remit their rent.
Now the select task force of the Parliamentary Committee on Commissions, Statutory authorities, and State enterprises (COSASE) probing the mismanagement of the Custodians Board, is already in Canada and plans to interact with individuals/companies to establish whether they issued powers of attorney to any individual and whether they were compensated or receive their monthly rent sent by holders of those power of attorney.
The MPs will be travelling to Canada and United Kingdom where the bulk of these owners are.
In Canada, Watchdog Uganda has accessed some of the names of individuals, families or owners of the said properties that the Committee is interested to meet in Toronto, from January 14th – January 20th, 2020, and from January 21st to January 28, 2020 in Vancouver Canada.
