This hotel EOI near Kabalega Airport exposes a familiar loophole in our planning.
We build public infrastructure, create demand with taxpayers’ money, then design the opportunity in a way that only large foreign or elite capital can enter.
Why must the first imagination be one big 300-room hotel? Why not a distributed hospitality model where surrounding Ugandan homesteads, guest houses and SMEs are upgraded, certified, financed and connected to a common booking system?
A serious government would use this airport to build local ownership, not just local employment.
Tourism should not turn citizens into cleaners and guards of markets created on their own land.
Build the airport. Build the hotel if necessary. But also build the Ugandan owner.
THANK YOU UGANDA FOR STANDING WITH ME!
Five days of hell but you still stood for the truth, for freedom, for justice and for a better country!
Thank you my President @HEBobiwine and everyone that put together every piece of effort and prayer to realize my freedom!
Thank you!
i hate how social media makes people forget that life has stages. it's normal to be broke, to have broke friends or partners and yes it's even normal to be unemployed at times. these are phases we all go through.
some people are lucky enough to find good jobs at a young age and afford a certain lifestyle. others take longer and that's perfectly okay. we need to stop comparing ourselves and start accepting our journey. i just want all of us to be at peace with where we are in life while still working and striving for better.
Now ANYONE can drive an unmarked Toyota Hiace (Drone) to any corner of Uganda without being stopped by any police officer who still wants his job. Along the way, you can even pick anyone you want from anywhere (even a Minister) and torture, rob or rape them. No one will intervene, because everyone will think it’s an SFC operation.
A person was abducted. The president's son admitted ordering the abduction and confessed to torturing him. Police refused to record a kidnapping or missing person case. Now the same police process him, the DPP sanctions charges, court remands him, and prison receives him. Lost!
Killed in Mob Attack at DTB Bank Ntinda ( @dtb_uganda )
It’s alleged that, this young man, lost his life on Monday following a mob attack at DTB Bank in Ntinda, according to accounts from witnesses, he had gone to the bank to withdraw money, after completing the transaction, a dispute reportedly arose when the bank manager accused him of having previously obtained money from him through fraud some months back & instructed security guards to stop him from moving out
as he attempted to leave the bank premises, a confrontation came up, boda boda riders in the area allegedly mistook the situation for maybe bank gun point robbers & descended on him, subjecting him to a severe beating
It’s said that, customers who were present at the bank intervened & rescued him from the mob before taking him back into the bank, @PoliceUg were later called to the scene but sadly, he succumbed to his injuries before he reached police station for statement
no one deserves to lose their life at the hands of a mob, allegations should be investigated by the police & courts, not decided through violence.
N.B I deleted this post yesterday, after DTB bank head office contacted me to pull it down, they assured me to issue out official statement on wat happened today morning, which they didn’t full fill, thus posting it again today evening ( I pledged to always speak for ordinary people (Abapakasi)
