NEBBI – Nebbi Municipal Council has generated more than Shs 200 million local revenue in lockups give away to local developers for the construction of taxi and bus terminals.

The construction of taxi and bus terminals in Nebbi municipality on Nebbi – Arua road is one of the strategies aimed at boosting local revenue for the council in an effort to implement the basic priority
areas of garbage collection and road maintenance.

Nebbi taxi and bus terminals construction site was leased in a Public Private Partnership (PPP) by the municipal council for the periods of 15 years and thereafter, the council will take over the management of the terminals.

The construction of taxi and bus terminals according to authorities, will take the period of two to three months to be completed.

According to Abwooli Makune William , the Town Clerk Nebbi Municipality, Shs 200 million raised by council will be used to re-activate some of the activities which the council failed to implement due to budget cut in 2020 as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Makune says, 534 developers each paid Shs 500,000 for a 4 by 4, and 4 by 3metre room, 418 developers paid Shs 200,000 meanwhile 8 developers each paid Shs 3 million each for the bus terminal space of 28 by 30 metres .

“Last year, the council realized a drastic decline in revenue collections instead of collecting the projected amount of Shs 790 million from local revenue, the council only collected Shs 500 million but if the taxi and bus terminals are completed, the council will come up with additional revenue to boost local revenues,” Abwooli said.

His Lordship the Mayor Nebbi Municipality Ngiriker Geoffrey says, for many years, municipal authorities were in running battles with taxi operators over street loading of passengers but if the taxi and bus terminals are fully complete, the local revenue wouldn’t be a problem in the near future since all vehicles will be in a confined place.

Ngiriker added that, the construction of taxi and bus terminals is aimed at providing a temporary accommodation for traders who will be displaced by the construction of the modern market in the municipality which will soon begin.

“The bus and taxi terminals will not only provide local revenues to council but also provide employment to all categories of abled working persons,” Ngiriker said.

One of the developers Adubango MacDonald says, a 15 year time period given by the municipal to the developers to utilize the lockups being constructed is too short for someone to realize the money spent in raising the lockups.

Adubango adds that, they abandoned the municipals Bill of Quantity (BOQ) after they detected a lot of irregularities in the BOQ because a temporary structure of a single room of 4 by 4 metres with mud motta can’t cost Shs 5 million, but the municipal engineers costed a single room at Shs 5m.

“We were given the BOQ which were not economical to us, that’s why we abandoned the BOQ and are using our own,” Adubango said.

HOIMA – As Uganda heads towards the oil and gas production phase, businessmen and women in Bunyoro sub-region have started a process of forming an association which will help them tap into the oil and gas opportunities.

Recently a group of tycoons appointed the interim executive committee and named their association as Albertine Oil and Gas Suppliers Association.

Some of the interim executive committee members are; Biingi Kawiso Julius who was appointed as Interim Chairperson, Owori Martin as Interim Executive Secretary and former Permanent Secretary (PS) Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development, Dr Kabagambe Kalisa who is the Interim Patron of the association.

Others are; Biribonwa Joseph- Interim Member, and Bunyoro Kitara Kingdom Prime Minister, Rt. Hon Byakutaga- Andrew.

Speaking to theCooperator news, Kawiso said that they developed the idea of forming the association after realizing that they lacked a forum to bring business men and women together to advocate for their rights in regard to the oil and gas sector.

He says that the association was formed but they haven’t registered it adding that plans are under way to legalize their association.

“We haven’t decided on the membership fee and the number of the members the association should have but we encourage business people to subscribe to the association once they have registered businesses” Biingi explained, adding that all those issues will be discussed in their second upcoming meeting.

According to him, the association will act as a forum for investors within the Albertine sub- region who are actively operating reputable businesses to prepare and build capacities to meet the standards required to offer goods and services in the oil and gas industry.

He added that the association will also provide an apex body of eminent persons who will advocate and lobby on behalf of members for consideration of business opportunities in industry.

Biingi explained that through the association, they are able to get information and guidance on upcoming oil and gas opportunities among others.

He noted that the oil and gas sector will provide the region with better opportunities and this requires them to get prepared if they are to tap in the sector.

He explained that the business of oil and gas continues to be challenging, complex and sometimes uncertain and this calls for business communities to have strong partnerships to rely on to benefit from the sector as local suppliers.

In a recent association virtual meeting Kyaligonza Mathew, the National Content Manager China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) oriented the association on available opportunities in the oil and gas sector.

Kyaligonza, highlighted several ongoing oil and gas projects such as construction of critical oil roads, airport, pipeline and refinery construction as some of the opportunities business community and residents of Bunyoro can benefit from either directly or indirectly.

He noted that security services, transport, health, accommodation and catering among others are some of the ring-fenced opportunities for the local suppliers.

However, he says that there is a need for business communities in Bunyoro, to prepare for the sector by registering on the National Supplier Data Base and keep updated with the oil and gas information.

He also challenged the business community to join strong partners with experiences in the sector; form associations which will help them share information and form joint ventures if they are to reap big from the lucrative oil sector.

Agaba Edgar, one of the association members and Managing Director of Spice FM based in Hoima town said that the formation of the association was long overdue adding that oil and gas as well as other sectors will provide several opportunities.

He advised that there should be a way of getting farmers organized in groups or cooperatives to be able to produce quality products to supply the sector.

HOIMA – Lemon and ginger prices are climbing higher in Hoima as demand soars for the fruits deemed to have immunity-boosting properties against the rampaging novel Coronavirus.

There have been more than 72,679 confirmed cases of Covid-19. The virus has killed more than 680 people, according to the June 19 official statistics from the Ministry of Health.

Interviewed for this story, Annette Murungi, a lemon seller in Hoima Central Market, said demand for lemons in the district has outstripped supply.

She said lemons are bought from Gwedo sub-county in Buliisa District but when the ban on inter-district movement came into effect on June 10, traders in Hoima couldn’t replenish their supplies.

She noted that transporting a sack of lemon from Buliisa to Hoima is too expensive because police officers lean on the Covid-19 restrictions to extort money from traders.

She said one big lemon costs about Shs 2,000 and a small one costs Shs 1,000.

James Murungi, a ginger and garlic trader, said demand for the two has soared.

According to him, ginger and garlic supplies come from Kampala but that stopped after the ban on inter-district movement. He said a cluster of ginger costs Shs 3,000 up from Shs 1000. He added that a cluster of garlic now costs Shs 5,000 up from Shs 2,000.

Julius Ayesiga, the Hoima Central Vendors Association chairman, said the price for a sack of ginger has climbed from Shs 200, 000 to Shs 500,000. He said a sack of lemon has climbed from Shs 60,000 to Shs 300,000.

He added that transporting such produce to the market is very difficult and suppliers who manage to sneak their products into the district end up hiking the prices.

“Prices had to increase since such fruits are not produced in Bunyoro region and the movement from one district to another is not easy yet there is a growing demand from the population,” he said.

Peter Mwesigwa, a resident in Hoima town, said, “I have been using lemons and ginger to boost the immunity of my family but I cannot manage to buy them because I am a low income earner, I tell you lemon fruits are going to remain for the rich families,” he cried out.
