Controversies

aseera stephen biography

In October 2022, Hon. Aseera Stephen was embroiled in a land grabbing scandal that threatened to derail his political career. He was charged with processing a joint title for 127 hectares of land covering three villages that made up plot 172, block 22 in Musaijamukuru illegally, along with Charles Ochaki Nyabongo and Job Muhumuza.

The land titles connected to the death of Julius Nyaika Irumba, the previous chairman of Musaijamukuru village, after it came to light that the dead met his demise for holding a leading role in the fight against land snatching in the region, which Hon. Aseera was rumored to have had a hand in.

Aseera Stephen denied any involvement in the land grabbing scandal and petitioned the Ministry of Lands to revoke the titles. He claimed that the other two people accused with him fraudulently used his name and signature without his consent to acquire the titles.

In October 2021, Aseera Stephen was among several leaders in Kikuube District who protested the appointment of Ignatius Muganyizi as the district land board chairperson. They claimed that he was behind rampant land grabbing in the district and demanded that the appointment be revoked.

Conclusion

Aseera Stephen Itaza is a prominent Ugandan politician who has made significant contributions to his constituency and the country at large. Despite the controversies that have surrounded his political career, he remains committed to improving the lives of his constituents and upholding the values of good governance.
