Umeme Limited says there has been a huge improvement in power supply over the last couple of weeks as most of the investments it made last year start bearing results.
Selestino Babungi, the managing director of Umeme Limited, says, “What we have seen is where we have done these investments, the dividends are already coming through in terms of improvement of reliability of supply. You will note that in the period of January through the elections, power has been reliable across the country.”
Daniel Birungi, the executive director of the Uganda Manufacturers Association, says it would be insane to dispute the major improvement in Uganda’s electricity supply industry over the last 15 years.
