NgoLwesibini, nge-10 kaDisemba ngo-2019, uMbutho waseUganda wabaSebenzi boKhenketho (i-AUTO) ukhokele iqela labachaphazelekayo kunye namaqabane kulondolozo, kwimibutho yoluntu, kwizifundiswa, kubafundi, kwingingqi uluntu, kunye namajelo eendaba ukuphinda ukugweba kwabo izicwangciso nguRhulumente wase-Uganda ukuba Isohlwayo sifundo sokusebenza kweProjekthi ye-Hydropower ye-360-Megawattd e-Uhuru Falls ngaphakathi Ipaki yeSizwe yaseMarchison Falls.

Oku kulandele isitatimende seendaba ngoDisemba 3, 2019 nguMphathiswa Wezamandla noPhuhliso lweZimbiwa apho uRhulumente waseUganda aqinisekisile ukuba utyikitye iMemorandam yokuQondana noM / S Bonang.

I-Energy and Power Ltd. evela kwiRiphabhlikhi yoMzantsi Afrika kunye ne-Norconsult kunye ne-JSC Institute Hydro Project basebenza kunye ukwenza izifundo ezinokubakho malunga neProjekthi ye-Hydropower ecetywayo e-Uhuru Falls ekufuphi ne-Murchison Falls eMurchison Falls National Park.

Ngelixa wayethetha noonondaba eMurchison Falls National Park, u-Everest Kayondo, uSihlalo wombutho wabakhenkethi eUganda wanyanzelisa ukuba uRhulumente wase-Uganda azikhusele zombini ii-Uhuru kunye neMurchison Falls ezisekwe kwindalo esingqongileyo nakwintlalo, kunye nexabiso elithe ngqo nelingangqalanga kwezoqoqosho eUganda.

“Iingxangxasi zaseMurchison ukusuka encotsheni yonke indlela ukuya kuthi xhaxhe ngentlango edibana neLake Albert, kubandakanya iUhuru Falls yindawo yaseRamsar, eyenzelwe ukuba ibaluleke kwilizwe jikelele phantsi kweRamsar Convention on Wetlands, isivumelwano esiphakathi koorhulumente esasekwa ngo-1971 yiUNESCO ukuya yeyiphi iUganda etyikityileyo. Incopho yale mathambeka ikwanesinxibo esibalulekileyo senkcubeko nesembali kuluntu olusindileyo olusuka kwizithili ezininzi ezijikeleze ipaki, nabaxhamlayo kubukho bayo, ”utshilo uKayondo.

Uye wongeza ukuba izifundo esele zenziwe ukuqaqambisa imeko ebalulekileyo yale ndawo ikhuselweyo, kubandakanya neyoMsintsi ngo-Septemba ka-2017 yeAtlantic Sensitivity Atlas ye-Murchison Falls National Park yi-Uganda Wildlife Authority, exhaswa yi-USAID kunye neRoyal Norwegian Embassy egxininisa kwakhona ukukhuselwa kwale ndawo yakwaRamsar.

“Iingxangxasi zaseMurchison ukusuka phezulu ukuya kutsho kwidelta ekudibaneni kwayo neLake Albert, kuquka i-Uhuru Falls yindawo yeRamsar, emiselwe ukuba ibaluleke kumazwe ngamazwe phantsi kweNgqungquthela yeRamsar kwiMigxobhozo, isivumelwano esiphakathi koorhulumente sokusingqongileyo esasekwa ngo-1971 yiUNESCO apho iUganda ingumtyikityi.
Imisebenzi ephambili kule paki ibandakanya ukuhamba ngesikhephe kumlambo umNayile owasungulwa ukusuka eParaa ukuya emazantsi eengxangxasi, ukunyuka ukuya phezulu kwiingxangxasi eziziimitha ezisi-7 ububanzi, ukukhwela intaka kwi-delta….
