In his view,}{\insrsid853038 the evidence on the record of the lower court showed that the appellant intended to}{\insrsid12852488 defraud Nakiberu by evicting her without compensating her. \par \par With respect, this Court does not agree with Mr. Mutabingwa\rquote s interpretation of the above law. In Court\rquote s opinion, the above law}{\insrsid14568061 does not apply}{\insrsid15533117 where the property}{\insrsid3826159 in question}{ \insrsid14568061 is}{\insrsid12852488 the subject}{\insrsid7671715 of multiple interests}{\insrsid14568061 .}{\insrsid12852488 }{\insrsid15533117 I}{\insrsid15299960 n the instant case}{\insrsid3826159 ,}{\insrsid7671715 we have seen that}{ \insrsid3826159 much as the appellant had a registered interest in the land in question}{\insrsid2113348 ,}{\insrsid15299960 Nakiberu}{\insrsid2113348 too}{\insrsid3826159 had}{\insrsid15299960 a legitimate}{\insrsid2113348 interest o}{ \insrsid3826159 n that land as a kibanja holder.}{\insrsid15299960 Therefore,}{\insrsid7671715 the appellant ought to have respected Nakiberu\rquote s}{\insrsid2113348 said interest.}{\insrsid7671715 }{\insrsid3826159 \par }{\insrsid2113348 \par }{\insrsid3826159 Secondly}{\insrsid15299960 , Mr. Byansi was absolutely right in saying that the evidence on the record of the lower }{\insrsid330501 court reveals fraud on the appellant\rquote s part in that he threw}{\insrsid15299960 Nakiberu out of her kibanja without c}{\insrsid6165754 ompensating her. The Administrator-General\rquote s file, which is part of the lower court\rquote s record as }{\insrsid330501 (Exhibit P2) is clear. It shows}{\insrsid6165754 that the Administrator-General\rquote s office}{\insrsid15299960 warned}{\insrsid10166147 the }{\insrsid6165754 appellant against evicting Nakiberu from her kibanja without compensating her}{\insrsid10166147 .}{\insrsid6165754 However, the}{ \insrsid9839928 appellant did not heed}{\insrsid330501 that}{\insrsid9839928 warning!}{\insrsid10166147 He went ahead}{\insrsid330501 to}{\insrsid10166147 evi}{\insrsid330501 ct Nakiberu without}{\insrsid6165754 compensating her}{\insrsid10166147 . }{\insrsid13459037 }{\insrsid6366547 T}{\insrsid13459037 his was}{\insrsid6366547 not only dishonest, but it was also a serious breach}{\insrsid13459037 of the law. }{\b\insrsid13459037\charrsid13459037 (See Article 26 of the Constitution.)}{ \insrsid13459037 Consequently}{\insrsid6366547 , w}{\insrsid10166147 hat better evidence o}{\insrsid9839928 f fraud would one need}{\insrsid2113348 than that?
