Uganda's Luzira Prison at Lake Victoria Shore to Be Replaced by Five-Star Hotel, Reports Say
Luzira Maximum Security Prison, located in Uganda, is the country's sole maximum security facility for both male and female inmates.
Uganda's Luzira prison at Lake Victoria shore will be replaced by a five-star
hotel, the media reported, citing Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni.
Museveni accepted the move proposed by the Chinese Tian Tang Group. This comes after the leader initially supported the proposal in 2022.
The company also suggested to "relocate the prison, at their cost, to another place in the interior on a land identified by the government," the leader wrote in a letter to Uganda's Internal Affairs Minister, Major General Kahinda Otafiire.
The minister was instructed to hold the negotiations with the group.
"The Uganda Prisons Service has identified 3.5 square miles in [the country's] Buikwe District, out of which they have agreed to purchase 1 square mile [2.5 km2] for the said relocation," the minister's letter on the issue read in part.
The
country's ministry of internal affairs, the attorney general and the administrator general are planning to hold a consultative meeting on the matter in early March.
