MINERAL LABORATORIES
The Sub-sector is up-grading the mineral laboratories so as
to be able to provide effective and sustainable analytical
and mineral beneficiation test services for the mining
industry.
Key Milestones in the upgrade:
i. By end of June 2019, installation of an Inductively
Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-
OES) and Accessory Equipment shall have been
completed. This is expected to usher in lower detection
limit (down to parts per billion (ppb)) and higher
analytical capacity/ throughput for almost all elements
of the period table at one go. This is therefore a game
changer for mineral exploration in the country. 101
E. INVESTMENTS IN THE MINERAL SUB SECTOR
Key Milestones in the upgrade –Cont’d:

ii. By end of May 2019, installation of a 3.37 cu.m oven
shall have been completed and is expected to greatly
reduce turnaround time for sample preparation for

4. CHALLENGES IN THE ENERGY AND MINERAL
DEVELOPMENT SECTOR
• Delays in land acquisition for electricity generation,
transmission and distribution Lines and substations,
leading to cost overruns. This includes seeking
compensation that is unwarranted e.g. in the case of LV
lines under Rural Electrification Agency (REA); claims for
compensation for sub surface rocks; and PAPs
challenging CGV rates.
• Land grabbing is affecting Land for mining and
installations for scientific research, Geo-hazards
monitoring, and mineral value addition centres.
• Inadequate financing to critical infrastructure projects
• High expectations arising out of the oil discovery and
Local content development 109
4. CHALLENGES IN THE ENERGY AND MINERAL
DEVELOPMENT SECTOR
• The private sector is reluctant to invest in power
generation projects as they require guarantees from
Government like Escrow Accounts and Sovereign
Guarantees
• Under staffing in the Directorates of Petroleum and
Geological Survey and Mines.
• Vandalism of power infrastructure.
110

6. CONCLUSION
Despite the challenges in the Sector, there is steady

progress in project implementation.
• Electricity has been extended to nearly all district
headquarters and the remaining two districts (Kaabong,
and Kotido) to be connected by the end of the
FY2018/19. Focus is now moving to all sub-county
headquarters in the country.
• We now have excess capacity of electricity and striving to
grow demand so that we lower the unit cost of it.
• Electricity Act, 1999 is being reviewed to promote
efficiency and attract private investment in the electricity
sub sector.
112
6. CONCLUSION
• Refinery development is on course. The lead investor for
the refinery has been identified and agreement signed.
• The Front-End Engineering Design for the East African
Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) was received and reviewed
by the Government.
• In the Mineral sub sector, Mining and Mineral Policy
2018 has been put in place and drafting of a new law is
nearly complete.
• The development of Sukulu Phosphates plant is near
complete, with phase one of the project commissioned
in October 2018.
113
CONCLUSION contd
There is need to overcome key challenges through:

• Prioritised Land Acquisition for government projects.
• Increased Funding in general for energy and mineral
development infrastructure projects.
• Enhancement of capacity and supervision of inspection
in the mineral sub sector and implementation of Power
Projects.
In conclusion, I wish to point out that the ability of the

sector to attain the key priorities as reflected in the
presentation will largely depend on your support for
availability of adequate resources.
