“There is nobody in Bunyoro here who is in a happy position according to any activities concerning oil. Nobody is happy! Because what I told you they were forcing people to sign - you sign here, if it is 1 million, you sign and take your million if not you find out you could go. People are not happy.”

“When they demarcated the land, they told us they no longer want anyone on it, I was only compensated Ugandan Shillings 920,000/- for 1 acre and yet an acre now is worth about Ugandan Shillings 6 Million. Even the 920,000/- Shillings I had to hustle for it and accepted because I cannot fight with the government. I was told whether I accepted the money or not, the land would still be taken, so I had to sign the papers.”

“Much as we are engaged in several meetings mainly on environmental assessment, but they were not handled the way they were supposed to be handled as per the meetings that we had because we were to be provided with trees and what have you, and we engaged even the public to understand what was going on however, it stopped from the beginning up to now we don't know what is going on.”

“By the time they started they promised us that at least a good number from the community will have to work there but surprisingly you find that all the people who are working there are not members of the community. We expect much after it has started but as of now we are not getting anything.”
