Over 250 local residents, who argue that their ancestors settled, farmed, and grazed on this land, assert that outsiders have moved in to hijack the compensation process.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200e<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200eMuch of the land was historically used under customary tenure, which means it lacks formal registration. This has led long-term users to compete for ownership rights after they found out that&nbsp; the Government&#8217;s plan for the land had increased its value.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200e<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200eDespite these disputes, Musasizi warned that district leadership would not allow the conflicts to delay establishment of the factory. This project was one of the key promises made by President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni during his re-election campaigns last year.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200e<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200eWhile speaking at a campaign rally at Kabirizi Playground on November 24, 2025, Museveni stated that the government would establish a factory to process the iron ore mined in Rubanda, aiming to generate more jobs and add value to the mineral, which was previously exported raw. He tasked the district leadership with identifying suitable land for the project.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200e<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200e&#8221;We have already found an investor to establish the factory, and this time, we will not allow anyone or anything to stand in the way,&#8221; Musasizi said during the swearing-in of Rubanda District Councilors on May 22, 2026.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200e<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200eHe asked those with grievances to sort them with the District Local Government led by LC 5 Chairman Stephen Kasyaba. .<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200e<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200eCUE IN&#8230;.

He urged the Rubanda District Local Government to ensure that the rightful owners of Murukoro land are properly listed for compensation. However, he emphasized that no one would impede the factory&#8217;s establishment.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200e<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200e&#8221;I will personally contribute efforts in ensuring that the rightful owners are compensated,&#8221; he added.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200eCUE IN&#8230;.

Estimates suggest that the Kigezi Sub-region, particularly Rubanda, Kabale and Kisoro area holds iron ore&nbsp; reserves between 30 and 50 million tonnes.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200e<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200eA Presidential directive maintains strict ban on exporting unprocessed raw iron ore. However, plans to establish a large-scale steel smelting plant within Rubanda have faced official hurdles and pivots.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200e<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200ePrimary reasons cited for not building the smelting plant in Rubanda included power infrastructure limitations, as steel production required a stable, high-voltage supply, (at least 132 K.V and over 100 megawatts). Additionally, the lack of a reliable reducing agent, such as natural gas, has been a major obstacle.&nbsp; After consultations from experts, it was found out&nbsp; that natural gas could not be safely supplied to Rubanda until oil and gas pipelines from the Albertine Rift region were operational.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200e<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200eConsequently, the government shifted focus to Tororo District in Eastern Uganda, which already possessed established industrial parks, robust railway and transportation networks, and easier access to regional markets. The groundbreaking ceremony for the $500 million Devki Mega Steel Plant in Tororo last year,&nbsp; marked Uganda\u2019s move towards this new strategy, with the plant serving as the country\u2019s primary steel smelting site.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200e<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200eHowever, Government clarified that Rubanda has not been entirely left out of the plan. Instead of a massive, full-scale smelting plant, the updated strategy involves establishing a facility in Rubanda for initial extraction, crushing, and refining of the ore into a high-purity concentrate. This concentrate will then be transported to specialized facilities such as the Tororo Mega Plant or the pig iron plant in Ntungamo for final steel production.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200e<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200ePart of the initial moves made to achieve the target involved establishment of the $83.75 million Mirama-Kabale 132kV Power Substation in Hamurwa Subcounty, Rubanda District. The substation was commissioned on February 12, 2025 by President Museveni,\u00a0 to\u00a0 provide bulk, stable electricity, replacing an older 33kV line that was previously insufficient for heavy industries.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u200e \u200e \u200e \u200eState
