Kampala — President Yoweri Museveni has asked United Arab Emirates based Dodsal Engineering and Construction Ltd to develop the Entebbe International Airport master plan.
Meeting a delegation from DE&C Ltd last Wednesday, Museveni disclosed that the Government would soon construct the new Kampala-Entebbe road in order to streamline Entebbe International Airport operations.
