We used part of Namboole Stadium renovation budget to compensate witch doctor, Says UPDF Engineering Brigade
Lieutenant Colonel Peter Kidemuka, the project engineer under the UPDF Engineering Brigade for Namboole Stadium, has revealed that part of the Shs97 billion approved to renovate the stadium was used to compensate and vacate the witch doctor of ‘Omusambwa Namboole’ to allow the works to proceed smoothly. He said the army was able to secure all the 128 acres of land, from several squatters including the witch doctor. “Works for the perimeter wall at Namboole started on 25th January 2022 and works were completed on 25th June 2022, and the project cost Shs3.8Bn and all the 128 acres of land are secure. We even had a witch doctor here who had a land title, but we had to ensure he goes away,” said Kidemuka. The project engineer made this revelation this morning when Speaker of Parliament Anita Among inspected the ongoing works following the Confederation of African Football (CAF)’s refusal to approve the renovation works undertaken by UPDF Engineering Brigade.
