KAMPALA: The Speke Resort Convention Centre in Munyonyo, a facility that hosted the recently concluded Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and G77+China Heads of State and Government Summits in Uganda, is now open to the public.
In a joint venture, the government and businessman Sudhir Ruparelia completed a contemporary convention center at Commonwealth Speke Resort Munyonyo that has opened new pathways for Uganda to hold bigger international meetings.
Some of the amazing features in the $40 million (Shs140 billion) facility were revealed in a video, including a 3,500-seat ultra-modern auditorium, a suspended restaurant overlooking Lake Victoria, and additional presidential suites with smaller conference rooms for sideline meetings.
The Commonwealth Speke Resort Munyonyo is a private, five-star resort owned by Sudhir’s Ruparelia Group and often hosts major government and international events.
