"Museveni Orders Cancellation of All Titles in Kitubulu Central Forest Reserve", Nile Post, 20 January 2026

President Museveni has ordered the immediate cancellation of all land titles issued in the Kitubulu Central Forest Reserve, citing the forest’s critical role in protecting Lake Victoria’s biodiversity and filtering pollutants and silt that threaten the lake’s ecosystem.

In a letter dated December 23, 2025 [...] the President emphasized the importance of protecting Uganda’s remaining forests.

Museveni revealed that he had previously approved a development project in Kitubulu—including a shopping mall, hotel, and mini city—based on false information.
