"There is a job with the land, which is categorised as public land.

"This is a public asset, but only a few people in this state cognize where it is and how one can put in it. We believe public land should be zoned and allow out on a competitory basis," said Edgar Agaba, the caput of the Populace Procurement and Disposal of Assets Authority (PPDA).

Agaba was on Wednesday speech production during the 8th sector reappraisal workshop at the Imperial Royale Hotel in Kampala.

He blamed corruptness for the continued failure of public procurement.
