Museveni pushes for land title to unlock Kagulu Rock’s tourism potential

President Museveni is calling for the issuance of a land title for Kagulu Rock, a prominent site situated 3,600 feet above sea level, to facilitate further development and enhance tourism in the Busoga region and Uganda at large.

The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities has injected Shs2 billion for the construction of staircases to improve access to Kagulu Rock and enhance the visitor experience. However, development has been stalled due to the lack of a formal land title for the site, preventing investors from proceeding with their plans.

Ms Rebecca Kadaga, the First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of East African Community Affairs, conveyed President Museveni's request for the land title on Saturday during the 9th annual Kagulu Rock Climbing Challenge, where over 70,000 participants joined Kyabazinga William Gabula Nadiope IV in the climb at Buyende District.

Speaking before Kyabazinga William Gabula Nadiope IV and local district leaders, Ms Kadaga emphasised that securing the land title is crucial for unlocking further development opportunities, including the installation of cable cars and the construction of a road from Kamuli to the site.

"Your Majesty Kyabazinga, through the Prime Minister of Busoga Kingdom, President Museveni is demanding a land title for Kagulu Rock to enable additional developments in the area. We need to collaborate with the district land board to ensure the title is secured by next year," Ms Kadaga said.
