United States ambassador to Uganda Jerry P. Lanier  briefed the minister for tourism and heritage professor Ephraim Kamuntu of his government intention.

The ambassador Jerry P. Lanier told the minister that they have considered the tourism among other projects but they were concerned about the efficiency of Uganda wild life authority and wanted to know the status of the board before releasing the funds.

Professor Kamuntu informed the delegation that the appointment of the board was long due pending a report by the commission of inquiry into UWA.

The minister noted that one of the challenges the ministry is facing is conflict between wild life authority and human resettlement because game reserves have not been fenced off from encroachers.
