Businessman Rajiv Ruparelia has promised to construct a world class state of the art stadium on the government land that Kololo Secondary School (Kololo SS) uses for its sports activities.
Despite having leased the said land from government, Kololo SS, a government school, is refusing to vacate the land. The school doesn’t own the land in question but only uses it as a sports ground.
The refusal to vacate the land has irked the businessman who wants to put sports academy called Premier Academy, an affiliation of Kampala Parents School.
Ruparelia said they plan to develop the land with a sports stadium, football academy, gym and conference facility for the sports fraternity.
“I want to build a football stadium, a volleyball court, tennis court, all-weather pitch, gym and a conference facility for all the sports fraternity to use. Of course there will be a fee, but a normal fee to use the facility,” he said.
”The selfish individuals had the opportunity to develop the land more than 40 years ago before the government handed us the title after realizing that Kololo SS would do nothing now they are hiring goons to derail our plans,” Ruparelia added.
Now that the schools are closed, the land and the playground is being used by rogue residents to commit crime in the entire Nakawa Division.
