A nonagenarian facing eviction from his five-acre land at Naluchekha village, Funyula constituency, has appealed to the National Lands Commission to intervene. Washington Abangi was allocated the land by his elder brother Edward Pamba in 1966.  Pamba, who is now deceased, demarcated the land he allocated his brother with beacons which are intact to date. Abangi, 92, constructed a house on the section of his piece of land where he lives with his wife, Janerosa Nerima who is 90 years old. Currently, there are two houses on the parcel of land.
