Leaders and the business community in the Bunyoro sub-region have tasked the government with establishing passenger and cargo ferry services on Lake Albert.
They say this links Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to boost trade and commerce.
Jacob Karubanga, the Chairperson of the Bunyoro Parliamentary Caucus, said that the establishment of a ferry which connects the region to the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is very crucial to boosting trade and commerce.
Other leaders including Pius Wakabi, the Bugahya county Member of Parliament in Hoima district, Fred Lukumu, the Buliisa LCV Chairperson and Vincent Alpha Opio, the Kikuube LCV Vice Chairperson said the establishment of a ferry on the lake will enable the business community from both countries to easily travel and transact business uninterrupted.
