Ruhunda curse Tooro Kingdom for demolishing car assembling plant. By Francis Tusiime 11/12/2014 Kabarole Despite the people of Tooro are expecting to benefit from their Kingdom, The Fort Portal Municipality Member of parliament Hon.Alex Ruhunda has come out strongly cursing the manner in which the Tooro demolished a car assembling plant that was being developed on their land by a private investor. Tooro kingdom has the biggest resources they have land bigger than government but it’s not productive and it can’t benefit the Kingdom subjects. The Kingdom properties are only benefiting some few individuals with in the Kingdom. Ruhanda said that”W the leaders of Fort Portal Municipality the Mayor His Worship Edson Asaaba Ruyonga and I lobed a Chinese company that wanted to build a car assembling plant in Bukwali village, East Division Fort Portal Municipality, after the completion of the structures they were chased from the land by the Kingdom officials and all the structures were dismantled yet people are suffering on the streets” says Ruhunda. Speaking to Journalists at Kalya Courts Hotel in Fort Portal,he said the car assembling plant was to benefit over 500 youth who were directly to be employs in the plant and also others were to benefit indirectly as service provider. The MP said that the car assembling plant was going to bring income in Fort Portal Municipality and this was a great project for Tooro Kingdom that was going to make it have a project that is competing at National and International level. “In the name of the culture nonsense, the government has given high tittles “The King” but they can’t give anything to the people and they end up fighting development, The Kingdoms should become relevant but not parasites to the subjects” said Ruhunda. “In Uganda no Cultural institution that has a technology that is competing at International level, instead they are suffering from what to deliver and have turned into creating wars like recent June Bundibugyo attacks” They just want government sympathy in brutal way. In an interview with The Deputy Tooro Deputy Information officer Mr.Vincent Mugume said that the Municipality leaders who claim to have lobbed adonnor to put up acar assembling plant they never consul;ted the Kingdom on whether to put the project on their land or not. He further said that the car assembly plant was constructed in Bukwali play ground and the King looked at the place for youth where they used to go and carry out their sports activities like Mugume further disclosed that the Kingdom had secured a partner and in the same place they were planning to build a football stadium in the nearby future for the youth. He said that the allegation that the Kingdom failed the development that’s was not true but the investor never followed the right procedures while developing a project on the Kingdom land.
