THE saga in which Kampala City Council Football Club (KCC) accused ‘an investor’ of encroaching on their Lugogo land took a twist, with businessman Stanislas Isiagi producing documents to show he has owned the land since 2006.
Isiagi, who is actually a KCC fan, has a 5-year lease for the land next to KCC’s ground, with and extended period of 49 years. He plans to build a hotel.
“The land that was allocated to me is not part of KCC and construction of a three star hotel will start immediately after the lease agreements for the land are signed,†Isiagi told the press on Saturday.
“One key instruction we got from the KCC chief planner Richard Kyamanywa, was for us not to tamper with the KCC parking,†Isiagi said.
The Kumi business man is to construct a three-star hotel called Old Stanley Hotel, which will become the fourth in his chain of hotels. In his hotel chain are Soroti Hotel, Green Top Hotel in Kumi, and Lavington Hotel in Mbale.
“I should be considered as a good neighbour and not an enemy. I am willing to discuss with the club executive,†he said.
Isiagi said he only allowed KCC official John Mutenda to construct a temporary shelter. When KCC club officials built what he considered to be a permanent structure, Isiagi asked them to stop construction.
The structure was demolished on December 24 2007 after reporting the case to the town clerk. Mutenda claimed he was building a KCC club house.
