Read Here-M7 was told lies, Nakivubo is not Afcon standard-See Why.

 

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni told lies about Nakivubo Stadium, According to CAF, Nakivubo is not Afcon standard.

For a Stadium to qualify to host International games, it Must be equipped with floodlights, three (3) showers, three (3) urinals & two (2) toilets within a securely fenced area for players. 

Currently, Nakivubo lacks all of these & there is no space available to construct such a setup, making it disqualified by CAF.

During the commissioning of New Nakivubo last week, President M7 uploaded Hamis Kiggundu for the good work well done. 

In his submissions, president M7 revealed that he had been told that the pitch is among those that were cleared to host the AFCON and other international games. 

parks and Owino Market make traffic impassable.
Four main gates are a must and proper barricaded buffer zones like Namboole but there is hardly any room for them at Nakivubo. 

“The towering buildings compromise security. Anyone can throw a bomb from up there. 

What happens in case of a stampede as people hurriedly exit? Are people willing to close and vacate their shops in those arcades 48 hours before the match day to allow for a bomb sweep and 24 hours before the match and on the morning of the match day? Its location means we have to condone off traffic for 72 hours say from Shoprite Biwologoma, Mini Price, Pride Theater, and Kisenyi ahead of an international game. 

But who will grant that permission to rid the buses and taxis from the stadium’s proximity? I reckon, no one. Nakivubo is a death trap, ” said the former national athlete (400m and long jump).
Raw deal
“Two things; Ham cannot complete the stadium even one year from now if he is to do proper stuff. Secondly, Nakivubo cannot be an international stadium. Impossible.

Things in Uganda keep repeating themselves. This is similar to the raw deal that Shoprite gave KCCA at Lugogo. But Nakivubo is worse. It is a death trap,” concluded Okello, one of the senior sportsmen in Uganda 
When contacted, National Council of Sports (NCS) Assistant General Secretary – Technical David Katende Ssemakula distanced the country’s sports governing body from the forgettable happenings at Nakivubo. 
“I would want you to appreciate the fact that NCS is operating under a different Act as compared to Nakivubo. 

The board there is established under the Nakivubo Board of Trustees Act (NBTA) and that Act defines what has to be done and how to develop and improve the Stadium,” said Katende.

“Because of the different Acts, ours remains mere supervision. The board is independent of NCS. So it does its planning and how it wants to develop the facility on its own. We oversee this structure but actual management is by the NBTA. 
“Secondly, that project is being run under a PPP (Public Private Partnership) so there is a private investor, investing in a public facility and that is the partnership.
So the private investor is Ham, and on behalf of the public is the board of Nakivubo. So as part of Nakivubo, the board provided the land, the investor is putting in the money to develop the structure and I think they have agreed under that PPP MoU and for how long it will take to recoup the money that he has invested.

Maybe at a particular time when it elapses, he will just hand over the facility to the Board for further management.” The redevelopment is estimated at $49m (Shs181b).
