Kampala-Kasese railway line to get upgrade to Standard Gauge

“Our transport system is irrational. Roads are overcrowded with cars and cargo. This leads to slow movement, increased traffic and damaged roads. To solve this, cargo must move to railways and waterways, while petroleum products will be transported through pipelines,” Museveni said at the time.
