Luzira prison to be re-developed into a five star hotel
According to a letter dated July 10,2022, Tian Tiang group will relocate the prison at their own cost, to another place in the interior on a land identified by the government.
President Yoweri Museveni has allowed the redevelopment of Luzira prison into a five start Hotel by Tian Tiang group, Charmar News has learnt.
According to a letter dated July 10,2022, Tian Tiang group will relocate the prison at their own cost, to another place in the interior on a land identified by the government.
“I totally support this idea,” he said in the letter.
In reference to the President’s letter, Minister of Internal Affairs Gen Kahinda Otafiire revealed that Uganda Prisons Service have identified 3.5 square miles in Buikwe out of which they have agreed to purchase 1 square mile for the said relocation.
“The family of the Late Antonio Lutwama Kabogoza who owned the land has unfortunately never applied for letters of Administration since the Late passed on in 1928 although they have agreed as a family and beneficiaries to sell the said square mile to the Uganda Prison,” he saidin a letter dated February 23,2024.
He further noted that in light of the current legal impasse on processing Letters of Administration for the old Buganda estates, the family lawyers have formed an opinion that they (beneficiaries) can still sell their interest in the said land to the Uganda Prisons Service for the Prisons relocation.
Now Minister Otafiire has invited Attorney General and the Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs to a consultative meeting on the matter on March 6,2024 at 2:00pm.
“The purpose is to review the said position of the family and whether your offices have any objection or proposals to actualize the said Presidential Directive,”
