The President of Uganda Yoweri Museveni shocked the world when he told Parliament today that the country would be free of load shedding for only three years once the construction of Bujagali hydro power plant ends in July 2012.

On receiving Museveni’s message to MPs and all Ugandans at large hundreds of people started calling on radio stations describing Museveni’s statement as ‘total rubbish.’

Some of the callers who described themselves as Luba Kyoya, Isaac Mutyaba, Makolo Kavuma and Tina Walugembe wondered whether the president still have the right message to deliver to the public.

The president said that with Bujagali producing 250 megawatts of power Uganda will have no load shedding for the next three years. The callers and radio panelists say that they expected Museveni to tell the world that Uganda will no longer have load shedding.
