Nathan Nandala Mafabi, the Chairperson of Bugisu Cooperative Union (BCU), has unveiled ongoing negotiations for the Bamasaaba community to reclaim ownership of the renowned Mt. Elgon Hotel in Mbale.
Nandala shared this development while addressing coffee farmers during his end of year message on a local based Mbale City Radio station.
The hotel, previously owned by the Union was sold off by former leadership.
Nandala sounded optimistic that under his administration, the hotel will be repurchased.
Furthermore, he disclosed that the renovation of Musundi House into a five-star hotel is nearly complete, with 95% of the work finished.
Nandala says these endeavor aims to provide employment opportunities for the Bamasaaba community and enhance the overall appearance of Mbale city.
Nandala urged all Bamasaaba to support the Union in 2024 and emphasized that the Union’s offices are readily available to address any concerns.
