Shanduko yekushandiswa kwevhu haisi sarudzo yekuchenjera
Kunyange hazvo mari yekupa Mabira kukambani yeSugar Corporation yeUganda Limited (SCOUL) ichinzi igadzirise dambudziko rekushaikwa kweshuga munyika, ongororo yakaitwa pakuongorora hupfumi hwenyika yeMabira inoratidza kuti kurudziro yakadai inhema.
Asi kana SCOUL yakawedzera kubereka kwayo kuti ienderane naKakira naKinyara saka kuwedzera kwechirongwa chenzimbe muMabira kwaisazomuka, maererano neshumo idzva.
Gwaro iri rine musoro unoti “Economic Valuation of 7,186 hectares of Mabira Central Forest Reserve” rakakurudzira shanduko yekushandiswa kwevhu kana kuti outright degazettement, richiti kana SCOUL ikaburitsa pachiyero chaKakira chegoho saka kudiwa kwevhu kunodzikira kusvika pa5,496 mahekita.
Kudiwa kwevhu neSCOUL kunogona kudzikira kusvika pamahekita 4,988 kana SCOUL ikagadzira 120 metric tons pahekita sezvakarongwa neongororo yakaitwa neAfrica Development Bank.
Chimwe chiitiko ndechekuti SCOUL inogonawo kuvandudza shanduko yayo yenzimbe kubva pa8.4 kuenda pa10 seKinyara. Kana izvi zvikaitwa, kudiwa kwevhu kunogona kudzikira kubva pamahekita 7,186 kusvika pa6,036 mahekita.
Nekuwedzera goho revhu sezvakakurudzirwa neAfrican Development Bank ongororo pamwe chete nekuwedzera kushandurwa kweshuga, kuda kweSCOUL yekuwedzera ivhu kunogona kudzikiswa nemahekita 5,038 zvichisiya kudiwa kwasara kwemahekita 2,148 chete. Izvi, sezvakataurwa, zvinogona kuwanikwa kune imwe nzvimbo uye Mabira osara ega.
Gwaro iri rakaitwa nechikwata chaitungamirirwa naDr. Yakobo Moyini (RIP) semuongorori mukuru makore mana apfuura. Ongororo iyi yakapihwa basa nesangano risiri rehurumende reNature Uganda uye rinodyidzana neBirdLife International.
