State minister for Works Aggrey Bagiire, who is at the heart of the project, told Sunday Monitor that since the political leadership has already pronounced itself on the reasons why Uganda is reviving a national carrier, a fact which is listed in the Second National Development Plan (NDPII), last week’s approval was expected.
“Whether we need a national carrier or not is no longer a debate,” Mr Bagiire said. “It is true the matter came up in Cabinet but it would be treasonable for me to discuss what was discussed,” he added.
The transactional advisor will also look into how the new national carrier would run and other key variables that were said to be considered in the conception of the project. Source: Cabinet approves revival of Uganda Airlines
