Congratulations our dear neighbors for the engineering feat. We are impressed in Kenya because we know with the extra capacity in your country, you will sell the extra power to us. Kudos to the great leadership in your beloved country.

Great report. In-depth, great visuals and lovely interviews reflecting the management and workforce.

[@ayelegelaneh7171]

Marvelous job Ugana. Bright future is clear for ugandans. You have to prepare to use the dam for irrigation , industry and house hold use. ✌️🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬

[@SaadKirangwa]

Good Narrative and cooperation for such projects. Let's strengthen accountability and review consumer costs and you manage such national supporting projects.

[@oumajoseph1135]

Certainly, it is a great achievement for the country. I hope all citizens have their homes electrified. Of course, some want, but due to high cost they can't afford, especially the poor, and as money oriented people, they don't consider the plights of the poor. But, let this development really bring change for all the Ugandans and neighbours.

[@BRI_Bridges]

This is exactly what called using African resources to make higher value chain, also has the capacity to export. CHAMPION❤❤

This great for our country Uganda 🇺🇬 the pearl of Africa 🌍

Thanks to the good vision of our president YK. God bless you

[@BRI_Bridges]

I see Tanzania also has the biggest waterfall in Africa !. These trained Ugandas engineers should go there to take up that project themself ?

[@namwanjaivan6954]

Promising for a better future

[@SIRLEE]

We need more documentaries like these showcasing the progress being registered in Uganda.

[@Christopher-borison]

Thank you.

[@samuelkamoga2823]

This documentary has boosted my love for my country, thanks to the government (HE the president, all officials in the ministry of energy. The engineers) and the Chinese government for the symbiotic cooperation.

[@Tadewosyohanes]

Congregation Ugandan from 🇪🇹

[@taremwaelly6843]

This is good

[@wilcoxdaniel9825]

People in Africa must diligently learn and understand how much work goes into planning, designing, building and commissioning power stations If you do you will not hesitate to pay your fair share of utilities. If everyone pays then there will be funds to deliver power to.more people. You have to pay taxes etc so governments don't have to borrow from others to fund major projects.

[@SarjoKhan-u8s]

China 🇨🇳 is the best partner for Africa🇳🇪🙏🏿💯🖤🖤🖤

[@FMercuryEA]

Uganda with suitable sections along the Nile can do more. Kenya with an installed capacity of about the total power production of both Uganda and Tanzania combined needs this power to run its industries in Kenya's industrial manufacturing sector.

[@aceyourieltstest]

I love the English in the commentaries of these vlogs

[@lutaayabashir]

I thank prsdt Museveni for the work. Energy drives the economy

[@mosesmutungire269]

[@obedgiujames8933]

We require to reduce the price of power in different parts of Uganda that is the online way will be benefits

[@osmanyussuf7069]

We will move to campala,africa must invest home.

[@austineshadrack]

I would like to appreciate the quality and in-depth insight of your documentary style videos.

[@MukwayaVincent]

Proudly Ugandan but M7 has done enough😅

[@tushabekim3929]

Why is electricity still too expensive for Ugandan consumers than it is for the countries Uganda sells its electricity to? (Countries like Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Congo)

[@aryasingurahezron6648]

And loadshedding is still a problem this project totally it's not helping ugandans

[@KGopidas]

Interesting progress

[@bekelemulugeta6307]

The people of Uganda are restricted by your rivers, and the people are brought out of poverty, your brother from Ethiopia😊

[@kanaabihamuza5913]

Hydro power is still extremely expensive in Uganda!

[@sheilaaciro6336]

Who said life is cheap 😂

[@namulizari5415]

🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬the way i love my president museveni may God bless you ❤

[@Herbert.b]

But I had in TZ some damz were closed due to over production of electricity in in the country

[@sheilaaciro6336]

Nice to see our own Ugandans building positively

[@vanuadventures]

The largest hydropower im east africa is in Tanzania with 2115MW

[@AlphaMale-x8z]

Wonderful 🎉🎉

[@kanaabihamuza5913]

But we are still facing road shading in Uganda

[@vanuadventures]

Tanzania is generating more than 3000MW by 2024

[@OMJOVI]

EXPORTING ELECTRICITY SOUNDS STUPID FOR UGANDA. CANT WE USE IT FOR PRODUCTION OF EXPORT GOODS!!!. How GDP is worrying

[@AlphaMale-x8z]

State of the art 👌👌

[@MPANGA101]

Great engineering

[@1wandol]

Why still power outages in Uganda?????

[@bobsmith3983]

Electricity transmission system problems.

[@aryasingurahezron6648]

This project is totally not helping ugandans when the price of electricity is still very high and loadshedding everyday neighbouring countries are the ones benefiting

[@abubacarjallow]

African is time to develop yourself please

[@kabuyeabdu9749]

May God bless president Museveni ❤

[@swalehrajgule4289]

Karuma has never been in Kiryadongo district. Typical no desire for basic facts....

[@marykahindo3592]

In which district is it?

[@Ekofoyurittyt]

Museveni really doing things I thought he was an old dinosaur just sitting around and talking but iam surprise to learn that his doing a lot of stuffs

[@bettynamugosa5743]

Thank you President museveni but let the Ugandans first benefit before our neighbor hoods

[@wilberkuteesa2319]

Good project, but the cost of power is too high. Electricity and water are two of the utilities with high prices in uganda. Due to low income per person, people will be shy to connect their houses. Secondly, people in kampala, wakiso, are still experiencing power blackout every day. What is wrong with uganda? Since the 1990s, when I was still a young man, power in uganda has never been stable at all, but you hear exports of electricity to Kenya, Rwanda, TZ, and South Sudan. This is unacceptable. Growing up in darkness and also my kids to experience the same.

[@AHOLIAB-ho7en]

This is very unthoughtful of you. If we have been experiencing blackouts, then this will absorb the frequency of the blackouts. And maybe, we could add more villages to the national grid.

[@wilberkuteesa2319]

@AHOLIAB-ho7en How come we are exporting power when the indigenous population lacks power? Isn't that thoughtful? First, satisfy the domestic demand before you embark on making other nations happy.

[@amzamizan770]

Kenyan are silent

[@skywire5595]

China export development US export bombs

[@robertwomack3419]

Why would China do this? How do they benefit? I guess they are just very nice people. 😂

[@BRI_Bridges]

It's part of the loan grant China granted for Ugandas part. Xi Jingping said he want to see the loan invest into physical assets. This Dam is of of those assets😅

[@robertwomack3419]

@@BRI_Bridges So, Uganda borrowed money from China and China tells Uganda how to spend the money? Again, what is in it for China?

[@BRI_Bridges]

@robertwomack3419 China is getting a low interest loan. Also, initially Uganda need to hired chinese engineers and paid initial chinese build infrastructure + capital transfer. Uganda benefit this by gaining skills and knowledge. china also gained soft powers and Mining right, friendship thru BRI against western imperialism mainly US.

[@jamesusanashville9678]

Unlike other countries giving loan for penuts

[@Userkzb20253]

This is called long term thinking. China will eventually get its loans paid back in many decades while jump starting the local economy with the uninterrupted hydro power. With emerging prosperity Uganda & neighboring countries can buy more advance products that China is now committed to making. With this in mind, you can imagine the amount of soft power China is gaining over decades to come. The ultimate profits are not directly coming funding the dam and dams to come.

[@KGopidas]

What about solar PV?
