A student’s project in 2007 at Uganda’s Makerere University, has progressively transformed into an automobile manufacturing plant.
According to media reports, Kiira Motors, a government-owned automotive enterprise is set to assemble 1,030 buses by end of 2021.
However, the success of the plant depends on having a market for its products and this will happen with government’s aid.
Already, the Government has banned the importation of buses and awarded a contract to little-known local company Tondeka to run a bus rapid transit for the capital city, Kampala.
