Authorities in Mityana District have arrested 16 people in Mityana Municipality over continued encroachment on Nakatongoli Wetland.
During a Monday operation, the team discovered that the suspects had established gardens, while others had constructed permanent structures, in total disregard of earlier warnings issued by National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA) and district natural resource office.
Mr Africano Ahalikundira, the Mityana Resident District Commissioner (RDC), who led the operation said the suspects would be arraigned in court soon for violating Section 36 of the National Environment Act.
