When the idea of the construction of Bujagali power dam came up, many people resisted it especially the residents. The local people were vowing not to leave to create space for the project to set off. Environmentalists too had their reservations saying the project would pose environmental concerns in regard to survival of the eco-system.

However following technical studies and discussions all the hurdles have been overcome and the project is on course. Today, some of the project’s previous critics are beginning to foresee the benefits even before the Bujagali power venture is complete.
