Justice Henry I. Kaweesa of High Court, Land Division ordered the government to pay the costs to Goodman International Limited a Sudanese firm after tenants backed by Former Ministers of Lands Idah Nantaba and Works Minister Abraham Byandala blocked him from possessing the land he had acquired in Butuntumula Sub County, Luweero district.
