Also through NAADS Secretariat,320 Tractors and matching implements were provided to farming communities across the Country under the Initiative to promote Agricultural Mechanization. To ensure effective and sustainable utilization of the Tractors and Implements by the beneficiaries, Government developed operational Guidelines for access, use and management of the Tractors. 3.2 Tripartite Memorandum of Understanding (MOUs) are signed between NAADS on behalf of Government, District Local Governments and the Beneficiaries before Tractors and Implements are issued to the target Beneficiaries. The MOUs also make reference to the Operational Guidelines to follow to ensure effective utilization of the Tractors and accompanying Implements. Ministry heavy equipment units are accessed through operational guidelines on cost sharing and subsidy basis. 3.3 In December 2019, Kayunga District Local Government received Three (3) Tractors which were distributed to the following Farmers' Organizations: 2 I Kwagala Garilaya Agricultural Marketing Cooperative; ii Kayunga Farmers' Savings and Credit Cooperative; and iii Ntenj eru Nother Master Multipurpose. 3.4 It is however alleged that the ministry heavy equipment units and tractors given to Kayunga District Local Govemment have been used for purpose of bush clearing, opening land and ploughing for planting sugarcane and in the process destroyed forests cover in the district. The forest reserve in question is located in Galiraya Sub County where Modern Agriculture Infra Ltd (GM Sugar Ltd) is establishing a sugar plantation. 4.0 Investigations Undertaken 4.1 On Thursday 2nd July 2020, NAADS Secretariat sent out two officers - the Head of Communication and Public Relations and the Assistant Value Chain Development Officer, to carry out a fact finding mission on the raised allegations. The team visited the Kayunga District Local Govemment Officials and made field visit to the area in question. The ministry also sent the officer, Engineering Assistant based in Kayunga District to visit the stated forest reserve and provide facts. 4.2 At the District Headquarters, the Investigating Team interacted with the District Production Officer and the District Agricultural Engineer, Kayunga DLG. The Two Officers confirmed that they too had heard about the allegations. The DLGs Officers further emphasized to the Investigating Team that the tractors provided by Government through NAADS Secretariat to the three (3) Beneficiary Farmers' Groups in the District were not involved in opening up land for sugarcane planting in the Forest Reserve as alleged. They reiterated that activities of the Three Beneficiary Farmers' Groups are closely supervised by the District 3 Agricultural Engineer. The District Agricultural Engineer there after accompanied the Team from NAADS Secretariat travelled to the site in question.The site visited was a Sugarcane Plantation in Galiraya Sub County being established by GM Sugar (U) Ltd. Also the Engineering Assistant from the ministry visited the same site on 7th July 2020 and established that the activities being undertaken don't involve government equipment. 5.0 Key Findings 5.1 During the fact finding mission at the site, the Investigating Team interacted with the Supervisor GM Sugar (U) Ltd Mr. Nswa Juma and the Head of Security Mr. Robert Kawiso. The Team also interacted with the Secretary of Kwagala Galiraya Agricultural Marketing Cooperative Society Mr. Dhikusoka Olar Godfrey, one of the beneficiaries of Tractors from NAADS operating in the affected Sub County. In addition, The Engineering Assistant Mr.Tibagamwaine also interacted with the following and they provided their contacts: The owner, Mr. Sekamate Musa the property Manager for the company with telephone contacts: 07008923 6710787465447 .

The area visited is Sugarcane Plantation under establishment by GM Sugar (U) Ltd; ii. There are wrangles on the land being cleared between NFA and the above mentioned company or person currently using and bush clearing the land but the court order was issued clearing the 4 investor to continue utilizing the land (Similar to the statement from the OC Galilaya Police Post where I first reported on my arrival to galilaya, and then it was confirmed to by the current property or land Manager of the company called Mr. Sekamate Musa). 1il. A total of twelve (12) heavy equipment units (Bull Dozers and Chain Loaders) and Three (3) Tractors were found at the site; The Supervisor and Head of Security GM Sugar Ltd informed the Investigating Team that the Company i.e.GM Sugar (U) Ltd is currently using a total of twelve (12) equipment to clear the land, 5 of these are owned by the company while the 7 were hired from a one Musa Ssekamatte - a Private equipment Provider from Kasokoso- Kayunga District; ll. The equipment which are privately owned were used to clear land, while the Tractors were being used to open, plough and harrow; lll No equipment or Tractor provided by Government through NAADS Secretariat to the Three Farmers' Groups Beneficiaries in Kayunga District were found on site at the time of the visit; lv The Investigating Team also visited Kwagala Galiraya Agricultural Marketing Cooperative Society and was taken to the area where the Tractor received from NAADS Secretariat was operating from; v At the time of the visit, the Tractor received from NAADS were found working on a garden of one of the members of Kwagala Galiraya Agricultural Marketing Cooperative Society, far away from the area under question; vl.

Article 77(1) of the Local government Act, CAP, 243, empowers local governments to formulate, approve and execute their budgets and Work plans. Also Section.35 of the Act confers planning Authority to the District Council and this is what has been done in the preparation of this Medium Term Expenditure Framework as a basis for annual planning and budgeting. This District has been facing a number of challenges in the process of delivering services to the people. Among these include, lack of Ambulance in the District hospital, Increasing population which do not match with the available resources, Deterioration of Road infrastructures especially during rainy seasons, Lack of enough permanent structures in Primary schools as a result of increasing enrolments in primary schools, high labour turnover especially in Health sector, lack of sanitation facilities in public places like Markets, schools. However, the District has tried through funding from the central Government and Implementing partners to overcome some of the challenges i.e. rehabilitate most of the Roads, Equip Health Units with drugs and other equipments, Recruit and motivate Medical doctors (7 Doctors) through Top-up allowances at Hospital and HCIV level and also acquired an Ambulance for the district hospital, Constructed staff houses for Health workers and Teachers, Facilitated OVC with school fees and health support through donor funding, Construction of Pit latrines in Rural Growth Centres and schools.
