President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni on Friday officially commissioned the Kiira Vehicle Plant in Jinja, a multi-million dollar facility that government officials and Kiira Motors say will position Uganda as a regional hub for vehicle manufacturing and green mobility. The handover of the Jinja plant, described as a state-of-the-art facility for bus assembly and electric vehicle production, marks a tangible step in a decade-long programme to translate university-led prototypes into local industry.
