“I thank the player (Buganda Land Board and Guoji Group Company (U) Limited for making this idea physical and now people can have standard houses at an affordable price. In a special way, I thank Guoji group for your association with us, we have worked with them and we ask more groups like this to join us on this cause of ensuring that our people get affordable standard houses,” said Kabaka Mutebi.

Kabaka also urged his subjects who have bought some of the houses in Mirembe estate Sentema to maintain them and also to clear their balances as per the contract. “Having houses in a well-organized community like here is a right for every person and this right must be fulfilled by leaders.”

“As we celebrate 30 years of Kabaka’s coronation, the act of Kabaka being in our midst and launching this housing project speaks volumes about the quality of these housings that the people especially in Busiro county deserve to ensure that they improve the standards of their lives, good living means good life, means long life.
