‪We are alarmed to read in today’s New Vision that an Environmental Impact Assessment is going ahead. This has been approved by Parliament.

We are not silly. We know if you dam Uhuru Falls you’re essentially daming Murchison too!

In reply to Mix-Movie.com.

Yes Murchison Falls have been saved but we still need to be alert to future attempts to build a dam there. Our protected areas are under immense pressure from communities and so-called ‘developers’ some of whom only have their personal interests at heart.
I’m sure there was intense lobbying from many angles. AUTO were just one of many actors but they were visible, vocal and committed. I applaud their efforts to #SaveMurchisonFalls.

Murchison falls saved? It is a question still asked by a lot of citizens, and other tourism stakeholders plus the ring leader, AUTO (Association of Uganda Tour Operators), who led the protest against the fate that was going to befall Murchison falls. Murchison Falls is located in Murchison falls national park located in northeastern Uganda in Kiryandongo and Nwoya district. Despite the pressure and love that was exhibited on the fateful day that was entitled “ save Murchison ”. It still looks like there was almost nothing that was put into action until this day.

The Speaker of Parliament, Rebecca Kadaga, has sought assurance from the government that Murchison Falls will not be tampered with. “I want an early assurance from the government that Murchison Falls will not be tampered with. These falls are a part of the tourism in Uganda and removing them will threaten the tourism in Uganda. The citizens need an early assurance on this issue,” she said.

"The cursory online check I did on the ‘Company’ [Bonang Power] was barely due diligence but did not give me confidence to take them seriously." Read Simon's blog "Looking at bonang power, #SaveMurchisonFalls might be a storm in a teacup"
