Since 2019 when the Government of Uganda went into a business-deal to let Finasi/Roko construct or build Lubowa Hospital. Things has stalled and money has gotten them nowhere. The government have doled money on the project and the development over the years. Billions after Billions of shillings, but nothing to show from it.
This specialized hospital with the special purpose vehicle to build it hasn’t happened. It is glacier slow and seemingly done so with a purpose. The people running the enterprise isn’t anywhere and the Parliament haven’t been able to assess or even get answers on the matter. Journalists are now arrested over it. It is a hide and seek where nobody is allowed to enter. Apparently to ask questions or even dig into the matter is “criminal trespassing” according to the police. So, people better not ask questions about it. No, no, no… don’t do that my brother, don’t you dare.
The loan of 1,4 trillion shillings should be answered for. That was given to build the hospital. A hospital which cannot be found or traced. It is a building site and nothing substantial has been built. If so… the President would be ushered around and he would blessed the venue with his presence. However, that will not happen in the near future.
This here is a possible Northern Bypass game again. As there will be plenty of hurdles, stoppage and bottlenecks. There will be loss of contracts, stipulated articles and also quagmire of accountability, which no one wants to touch. The agreement been made in secret and with the inner circle involved. So, we know the Auditor General, IGG or anyone else has to remain silent. Until, the state produces a “fall guy” and someone they can pin the “blame” on.
We all know this wouldn’t have happen by the same regime if it was building a new prison. This being the new Mutufu Prison in Sironko District, which was commissioned in April 2023 or the massive project which was finished in 2020, the Kitalya Maximum Security Prison. While in 2022 there was also new prisons farm opened “Odina” in Soroti and “Awea” in Ablebtong. These sorts of things get the funding on time and the they are actually built too. There is no news of lacking oversight or anything. They just follow on schedule and ready within time. Because, these are a priority of the state and a need it has. However, a specialized hospital is another matter. That’s why the Ministry of Health and the public hospitals is in a bad state as it is…
This just shows where the heart of the state is and where they want to invest. They clearly have cash and funding when these sorts of things works so well for the Uganda Prisons Services. While other places are lacking, stumbling and getting nowhere.
We know Lubowa Specialized Hospital is a money-pit. The whole shinding smelled rotten from the onset. There was little to no progress. If there was any, the Minister of Health would have showed it off and been proud. They would have defended it all and been on the side of the government. A government that cannot explain it and if they do… well, some of the ones involved should or allegedly could be entering one of them new prisons the state has built over the recent years. Because, fraud and money laundering is serious business.
Well, we know they will not unleash those people or the ones involved in the inner-circle. They don’t want questions to where the billions upon billions or even a trillion shilling went. No, that isn’t for the commoner to know. They are just supposed to believe in the dream and not catch on to the nightmare. Peace.
