Kumi Municipality Member of Parliament Silas Aogon has thanked the private sector especially city tycoon Sudhir Ruparelia for delivering the venue for the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and G77+China Heads of State and Government Summits on time, adding that the wisdom President Museveni showed during the Summits is the kind that Africa needs because he is able to trace the history of Africa from 1500 AD without looking at any piece of paper.
“The private sector played a huge role, of course we must thank Sudhir Ruparelia, that group also did their part. Yes, we can have weaknesses but I can tell you for now, we must thank people. They have delivered within a short time, a marvelous conference centre and we are able to deliver without any quarrels, that is Uganda for you,” said Aogon.
“I have followed President Museveni for some time, he is somebody naturally gifted with wisdom, he can talk about African history starting from 1500 AD, and he brings you steadily up to today without looking at the papers. Africa needs a leader who can be able to understand the world, not just now, and that is the kind of person”
It took Mr. Sudhir’s group of companies, the Ruparelia Group, only one year and two days to complete the world class conference facility — the Speke Resort Convention Centre at Munyonyo in record time.
The convention centre has a multipurpose hall, 12 high-end conference/breakaway meeting rooms and a floating restaurant that can host more than 900 guests, with an extraordinary view of Africa’s largest freshwater lake⏤ Lake Victoria.
