They say crops were uprooted in January this year during the exploration of Kasenene oil well in Bulisa Town council and people were promised compensation.

Bulisa district has major oil exploration cites like Kasenene, Kigogole I, III among other by Tullow oil company.

Tullow oIl Uganda Corporate Affairs manager Jimmy Kiberu admits to delays in compensating the residents but attributes it to delayed approval of the compensation rates by government.

He called for patience saying that all the eligible complainant and residents would be cleared accordingly as soon as the compensation rates are approved by the government.

According to Kiberu the company has over 23000 damaged assets to compensate in Bulisa district alone. On Tuesday religious leaders from Bulisa issued a joint communication calling for just compensation.

Buisa LCV chairman Fred Lukuma says challenges like poor roads infrastructure, lack of good schools and health centres are greatly hindering the development.

He says no single part of the district is connected to national power grid. He pointed out that the operation costs of running the generator to run all the district departments for the entire day are too high.

It was recently reported that a fish plant at Butyaba closed down due to lack of electricity. Lukumu argued agent government attention in extending power to Bulisa district to end such associated problems.
