KAMPALA MARRIOTT HOTEL CHANGES CITY SKYLINE:

The 5-star twin-tower luxury property which will soon be opened to the public is located on Ggaba Road in Nsambya.

The Director Economic Affairs, Moses Kaggwa,accompained by the Commissioner Tax Policy, John Byahuranga and other Ministry officials yesterday had a guided tour of the property to assess its progress.

The team was recieved and taken on the guided tour of the top luxury branded hotel by the Chairman of the property & also founder & owner of Capital Shoppers,Mr. Ponsiano Ngabirano.

The Director Economic Affairs said this is one of the projects @GovUganda is supporting, adding that, he was happy with the progress already registered.

"Part of Government policy is to support branded 5 star international standard hotels to attract ultra-rich tourists," said Kaggwa, adding that under tourism which is one of the anchor sectors (ATMS), government is targeting to double the number of tourists and also double the money spent in Uganda.

The exquisite property now under the supervision of Marriott Management also features executive apartments with exceptional luxury for top-tier clients.

The Marriott team is already on-site conducting final touches ahead of the official opening of the world class hotel and perhaps the best in the region.

1. The late Joseph Mulenga was Minister of Justice

2. The now Retired Richard Butera was Deputy Chief Justice & DPP

3. Gen Kale Kayihura was IGP

4. Philemon Mateke was a Minister

4. The Hon Peter Kabatsi was Solicitor General

Etc.

It’s about the Law, Not Ethnicity.

[Hussein Kashillingi @hkashillingi]

@ReachDrMuganga is undermining a legitimate debate by framing it as discrimination against him as a Munyarwanda. That is not the issue. An expired passport does not mean one ceases to be a citizen; a passport is merely a travel document. Many Ugandan citizens do not even hold passports.

The real issue is straightforward: if you acquired Rwandan citizenship while working in Rwanda, Canadian citizenship while in Canada, and later Ugandan citizenship, then simply state the facts as they are. There is nothing inherently wrong with holding multiple citizenships. The question is whether Uganda’s Constitution and laws permit a person with that citizenship history to hold certain offices, including that of Minister. That is the debate—not ethnicity.

If we’re serious about fighting corruption, we can’t stop at exciting the public with House arrests and headlines. People must be prosecuted and convicted so everyone learns the lesson. This habit of forgiving, only for them to fight us again later demoralizes every anti-corruption crusader. You can’t convict Nandutu over 300 iron sheets, then forgive the one who stole the entire economy. The law must apply equally big or small fish.

Hon. Minister, with utmost respect, it's time to shed the old self. Public office demands a different tone. You now represent the Government and people of Uganda. I humbly submit.

Did you ever hold, or do you currently hold, Canadian and/or Rwandan citizenship?
If you previously held another citizenship and have since renounced it in order to qualify for ministerial office, then the matter is straightforward: provide Parliament with documentary proof of the renunciation or cancellation.

There is no need to impute motives, allege hatred, or raise the political temperature over what is essentially a factual question. Public office carries public accountability, and questions about eligibility are legitimately answered with evidence. #UgandaGovernedByLaw

[Daudi Kabanda @DaudiKabanda]

Mr. Muganga Lawrence was not rejected by the committee for being a Munyarwanda, a narrative i see some people so deceptively selling. We have other leaders who are banyarwanda who were approved & have been approved in the past. Hon . Aisha Ssekindi and Dianah Mutasingwa were approved yet they are Banyarwanda but Ugandan citizens.

Muganga was not approved after he denied holding a Rwandan passport, but the Committee investigations confirmed he holds 3 passports: Ugandan, Canadian and Rwandan. Why was he denying it? Therefore, the claim that he was rejected because of being a munyarwanda is totally false, misleading & dangerous.

Thank you, Hon. @MubarakMunyagwa, for your honest and thoughtful remarks. 🙏🏾

[Mufti Menk @muftimenk]

Don’t wait to forgive someone till they apologise. You may end up waiting forever. Remember, it’s easy to hold a grudge and it’s easy to lay blame. But by doing so, you’re allowing others to have power over you. For the sake of closure and healing, you should forgive and move on.
