KAMPALA, Uganda — The Buganda Land Board (BLB) has renewed its partnership with FLY6 Technologies, continuing its effort to combat land fraud on Kabaka’s land through the LE-Card system.
The renewed agreement was formalized with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) by Omuk. Simon Kabogoza, BLB’s chief executive officer, and Prakash Ivaturi, CEO of FLY6 Technologies, at BLB headquarters in Kampala.
The LE-Card, introduced in 2015, was jointly developed by BLB and FLY6 Technologies. It uses palm-vein technology, which both parties state is a globally proven method to fight land fraud and impersonation, to safeguard land documents for individuals under the Kabaka’s land tenure system.
“The LE-Card is not just a card — it is security, it is protection, and it is trust. Our partnership with FLY6 continues to guarantee this,” Kabogoza said at the signing, emphasizing the card’s role in transforming land management in Buganda.
Ivaturi expressed satisfaction with the renewed collaboration, stating, “Our continued collaboration with Buganda Land Board is a testament to the success of this innovation. The palm-vein technology behind the LE-Card remains among the most secure in verifying ownership and ensuring transaction integrity.”
To register for an LE-Card, individuals need authentic BLB land ownership documents, a file number, and a valid national ID, passport or driving permit. A payment of 100,000 Ugandan shillings (UGX) is required via mobile money. Companies pay 200,000 UGX, with one card covering multiple properties.
Key advantages of the LE-Card include real-time access to land ownership data, eliminating the need for bulky documents during transactions, enabling anytime transactions and strengthening protection against fraud, forgery and impersonation.
The LE-Card remains a vital part of BLB’s strategy to protect landowner interests through innovation, ensuring no land transaction proceeds without explicit authorization from BLB and consent from the registered landowner.
