Expansion Project at Uganda's Entebbe Airport Runs into Trouble

The expansion of the Entebbe International Airport could take longer than originally planned. The contractor, China Communications and Construction Company, says a clan in Buganda is claiming part of the project land, while people in Mukono have taken court action to stop stone quarrying in their area, affecting the company's supply of rock aggregate.
