THE National environment Management Authority (NEMA) is to approve the suitability of a school at Lugogo By-pass before Shimoni Demonstration School and the TTC are relocated there.
The environment watchdog is to also approve the suitability of the proposed hotel at Shimoni, before the land can be handed over to Kingdom Holding Company (KHC), the Uganda Investment Authority (UIA) chief said on Saturday.
KHC, which wants to construct a hotel on the 15.1 acre-land currently occupied by Shimoni TTC and demonstration school, is owned by the world’s 5th richest man, Saudi prince Alwaleed.
UIA executive director Dr. Margaret Kigozi and the commissioner for teacher education, Margaret Acen, told journalists that the land at Lugogo, where the school is to be relocated, belongs to the Ministry of Education.
“If NEMA says no, we won’t go there. If it says no to a hotel at Shimoni, we won’t go there too,†Kigozi said.
Acen said relocation of the school would not take place until the next term.
