All the above questions it was the company management to ask themselves before burning all that cash to produce 5buses. Imagine this was a private company and you are the CEO. Am sure you wouldn’t accept those numbers. But since it’s government it’s okay.
You cannot measure the value of an emerging automotive industry by counting five buses and dividing them against the total investment. In fact, Uganda’s 2025/26 Budget Speech reported 41 buses produced, including 29 electric buses. Context matters.
The STI Economic Highway requires investment in human capital, industrial infrastructure, intellectual property, supply chains and technological capabilities.
The critical questions are: How much of that investment created productive assets? How many Ugandan engineers acquired specialised skills? What percentage of components can be manufactured locally? What is the pathway to mass production, export competitiveness and reduced import dependence?
These are legitimate questions of accountability.
We cannot continue importing everything we consume, exporting our raw materials and then questioning every attempt to build domestic manufacturing capacity.
The future of Uganda's economy will depend on what Ugandans can invent, manufacture, own and sell to the world.

Most of the companies government takes over are failures. The people in charge don’t take things seriously like a private company, because they know regardless they will be paid. I think we need a foreigner to run the company like the Airlines. 🤔🤔

Name 3 companies government has invested in billions that are actually making money. Then you tell us economics. You think if it was a private company they would be having those figures, let’s be serious
I think you need to go back to the classroom and study the economics of industrialisation before reducing a national industrial investment to a simple comparison between money spent and buses sold.

The figures presented they were from the head of Kira motors himself, they had to produce 30 buses but they only produced 5 of them, we are not talking about the buses you have posted. They paid 15bn to the engineers only to produce 5 buses
As senior journalist, do a better job than those excited keyboard warriors! You know KMC has produced more than 5 buses.
Don’t mention the gross salaries without mentioning the number of staff! I doubt one would pay an engineer assembling electric buses like I pay my mechanic in Wandegeya! We want to develop our country to the level of the countries we admire at zero cost! Building systems alone is very expensive. I would like you to highlight what big companies spend initially to put up something like KMC is doing!

The company is not taking things seriously, because it’s government money they know they will get paid no matter the losses, if it was a private company do you think they have been having those numbers

Friends electric cars and buses are already invented, people are now making reusable rockets. Kira motors is innovating nothing new with electric buses, let them focus on assembling electric buses than making us look fools.

What are they innovating? Electric buses? 😂😂
Kiira Motors is predominantly owned by the Government of Uganda, which holds a 96% controlling stake through the Science, Technology and Innovation Secretariat under the Office of the President. The remaining 4% shareholding is held by Makerere University....... know your country, learn how government works too....i got you all hahahahahaha.....

The Ugandans reason 😂😂. So you paying 800Ugx should justify the unthinkable losses government is making 😂😂
Dear Senior & learned fellow, ROI depends on operational scaling over time. Im a daily consumer this @ebusxpress service and its quite top notch. As a country we are on a right trajectory if we think long term and support such @GovUganda initiatives for sustainability.

There is a lot of nonsense going on that can even been seen by a fetus. Those in charge should be in court
Kira Motors spent 67. 8 billion shillings and made 5.4 billion from the buses they made. They also spent 15 billion shillings on salaries for staff, with the output of 5 buses. I once said that the day whoever gave them the deal realises that it is a bogus project and doesn't add any value to the country's economy, it will be too late.

I wouldn’t be surprised that the American government has more information about the security situation in Uganda more than I do sometimes even more than the Ugandan government itself 😂😂
Wouldn't it be nice if the Americans currently in Uganda made some content to show how silly their government is being....?

It might be due to Ebola
But Wekesa be honest with yourself surely. Political stability is obviously the foundation of national security - what attracts tourists, economic prosperity, investor confidence and sustainable development your tourists can’t come and find your VP being threatened on social media. We can’t assess Uganda’s safety by the absence of open conflict alone. Look around, see what is on X every week it’s scary!
Political uncertainty and institutional fragility are legitimate concerns, and dismissing them does Ug 🇺🇬 no favours. Fix what’s happening!
