The Binga Local Board has announced plans to repossess more than 100 undeveloped residential and commercial stands from owners who have failed to develop them over the past six years.

In a notice, Binga Rural District Council CEO Joshua Muzamba said the repossession will include 99 residential and three commercial stands, which will be reallocated to deserving applicants on the council's housing waiting list.

"The Binga Rural District Council, through Binga Local Board, wishes to inform all individuals who were allocated residential and commercial stands in Binga Township over six years ago that it intends to repossess all undeveloped stands for reallocation," Mr Muzamba said.

He urged affected beneficiaries to make representations within 30 days from the date of the notice and to present proof of payment for verification, warning that failure to comply will result in repossession.

In a separate notice, Binga RDC announced plans to auction 40 stray livestock, including cattle, sheep, and goats, across several business centres such as Kabuba, Zuka, Siampongo, Ntundazi, Lusulu, Zyakamana, Sikomena, Siabuwa, and Kalungwizi. The move is being carried out in terms of the Rural District Council Act (Chapter 23:13) and the Stock Trespass Act.
