I fully agree with you!
We need to do some serious lobbying for this power otherwise we shall never move as fast as we desire, I think it is time for our MP's to work together and even include some key opinion leaders in lobbying for connection to the National Grid. I hope they heed this hair raising challenge.

I had thought that our MPs had spearheaded the lobbying of connection of West Nile region to the national grid to solve our energy problems!! From the link above, I was wrong!! The elecrical energy from Karuma HPP shall be evacuated to Kawanda Substation(260km from Karuma), Kamdini(13km from Karuma)and Lira( 85km from Karuma). The Pakwach line through Nwoya/Amuru is not mentioned anywhere(about 110 km from Karuma). I suggested before that our MPs in West Nile ought to have lobbied for the connection to the National Grid which shall solve the outage problems in West Nile. The Nyagak 1&2(isolated grid) can then be used as back-up power after through syncronization with the National Grid. Hon Jachan Omach, Hon Aridru, Hon Atiku, Hon Onzima, Hon Bako etc, kindly do the neeedful for our region. Hon Aridru, you need to take this up as a priority even if it means getting additional funding!! Members, what do you think? George
