President Yoweri Museveni has has met a delegation from the One Mobility Group based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE)-and asked them to partner with Uganda’s Automotive Industry flagship-Kiira Motors Corporation to produce buses locally to improve the mass public transport system in Kampala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Mobility Group is a multi- national company that owns and operates companies that deal with all means of private and public transport along with the ancillary services. The Group has expressed interest to extend their services to Uganda .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Museveni gave them a go ahead but on condition that they must use buses made or assembled from Uganda. \u201cI\u2019m very glad to hear that idea. The only point I would have added, you seem to have already worked on it because those buses I want them to be made here. You should use buses either made or assembled here because that is what we are planning. We are planning to make the buses using those people of\u00a0Kiira Motors,\u201d Museveni said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you can come in and work with them to produce and operate the buses locally that will be very good. You must work with them. We don\u2019t want to use imported buses, we want to use our own buses here,\u201d Museveni emphasized while discussing with the investors .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The President also directed the Prime Minister, Robinah Nabbanja to have a meeting between, One Mobility Group and Kiira Motors to see how they can move forward together. \u201cThe benefits of this initiative are very clear; less traffic jam, less fuel\u00a0 and time saving,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Vice Chairman of One Mobility Group, Mr. Omeir Mohamed Omeir Yousef AlMheiri assured Mr. Museveni that they are very much ready to work with the two local bus manufacturing companies in order to achieve a common goal of putting an end to the traffic congestion in Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have got broad interests in Uganda and we are here particularly today regarding the Bus Rapid Transport System. We are very keen to be part of the public transport system and we are looking forward to that with the help of our government and the support of the Ugandan government as well,\u201d Mr. Mohamed stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are very much open to work with everyone here as long as it fits the international standards and in terms of supply if they can meet the required timeframe, we shall be more than happy to work with anyone. At the end of the day, our aim is to provide a more affordable solution to the people of Uganda to move around in a more effective manner.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group which so far manages and operates public transport in Abu Dhabi, other Arab Countries, North Africa, Tanzania and Kenya also plans to put an end to traffic jam caused by taxis and boda bodas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYour Excellency, there millions of Ugandans travelling from sub urban areas to the city on a daily basis and that means that there\u2019s so much time wasted in traffic and that translates to costs and expenses to the government. So with this system, we are looking to find an effective and a more lively solution to Ugandans to be able to travel efficiently,\u201d Mr. Mohamed noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From managing the tremendously successful Fast Rent a Car, One Mobility Group has evolved to preside over a plethora of companies ranging from car hire, limo, taxi services and public transport services and maintenance facilities, excelling in each of these fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company has grown from strength to strength, adopting a highly ambitious, quality-driven, goal-orientated business methodology that evolves with the market needs and requirements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
