Contentious Compensation Surrounding Mutu Rock Construction Project

A controversy has arisen in the community around Mutu Rock in Kole district over compensation procedures for those affected by the ongoing Apac-Lira road construction by Gulsan Construction Company.

The project involves quarrying at Mutu Rock, and documents reveal that the company paid UGX 280 million to a personal account linked to Morris Ogwal. Residents are alarmed by the disparity between this compensation and the actual losses incurred, with some receiving as little as UGX 150,000.

This situation highlights broader concerns about transparency and fairness in development projects and emphasizes the need for a more accountable compensation process.
