Uganda: Bujagali Dam Project Gets Fresh Opposition

Two environmental pressure groups are still opposed to fresh attempts by the government to construct a hydroelectric power dam at Bujagali falls. Addressing a press conference on Wednesday, Frank Muramuzi, the president of the National association of Professional environmentalists, said there were flaws, which have not been addressed. Muramuzi, who was flanked by Oweyegah Afunaduula, a Makerere University don and secretary of the Save Bujagali Crusade, said they would lobby global funding bodies to halt investment in the dam.
