| dc.description.abstract | This research is couched to paint a picture of the state of land rights in Uganda from the perspective of tenants by occupancy. When read together, both the Constitution and the Land Act1 as amended guarantee certain rights to tenants by occupancy in a fashion that appears to assure security of occupancy to this class of tenants. 2 A closer look at those laws, however, reveals gaps therein which this study suggests, must be filled if adequate protection is to be afforded to tenants by occupancy. Some of these gaps lie in the process by which a ce1iificate of occupancy is to be obtained3 and some; in the want of sufficient prescriptions on the important subject of payment of ground rent both of which are matters at the very heart of the tenants' security of occupancy. From the lenses of the foregoing matters, this research employs a qualitative analysis of the relevant laws, principally assessing their sufficiency and efficiency in meeting those desired ends. In the same spirit, the study also conducts a comparative analysis of the state of matters in other jurisdictions on the same subject and finally closes with recommendations on how to turn the tide around for the better. | en_US |
