Uganda: Lesotho to Aquire 20 Kiira Motors Buses As Museveni Pledges More Five

What the report says

Lesotho is preparing to buy 20 buses from Uganda’s Kiira Motors Corporation after talks between President Yoweri Museveni and a special envoy from the southern African kingdom, according to the report carried by Nile Post and distributed by AllAfrica. The discussion took place on November 11, 2026, at State House in Entebbe, where Museveni met Lesotho’s foreign affairs minister, Limpho Justice Tau, who was delivering a message from Prime Minister Ntsokoane Samuel Matekane.

The article says Lesotho wants the buses to help address public transport needs. Museveni reportedly welcomed the request and instructed Uganda’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs in charge of Regional Affairs, Haruna Kyeyune Kasolo, to coordinate with Kiira Motors on the proposed transaction. In addition, the Lesotho prime minister asked for five more buses, and Museveni pledged to provide them as a donation.

If finalized, the arrangement would bring the total to 25 buses supplied to Lesotho through a mix of commercial purchase and government support. The report says the deal could help Kiira Motors expand beyond Uganda and strengthen the visibility of locally manufactured vehicles in regional markets. However, the article does not provide details on the bus models, delivery timeline, contract value, or financing terms, so those points remain unspecified.
