Government has started preparing to resettle the 93 families that opted to be relocated from the 29 square kilometres of land on which the planned crude oil refinery in Hoima District will be built...The Refinery Communications Officer, Bashir Hangi, explained that government had purchased a 500-acre piece of land on which each family will be allocated a piece of land the same size as the one they previously owned in the refinery area. “The people will get land titles and for those who had houses in the proposed refinery site, we shall build for them permanent houses on the resettlement land.” Hangi added that government will construct roads, water sources and extend power and other amenities to the relocation site. “The relocated households will be consulted in the designs of the houses and physical development plans of the relocation site,” he said.
