Mrs. Museveni lauded the Ruparelia Group for their commendable work on the multi-billion project, emphasizing their attention to detail and level of preparedness. She highlighted the importance of maintaining such high standards not only for the current summits but also for future events.
“I would like to express my appreciation to the Ruparelia Group for their commendable work in preparing the Convention Centre for these Summits. Their attention to detail and level of preparedness is truly praiseworthy,” Janet Museveni said.
“However, I want to emphasize the importance of maintaining these high standards. It is crucial to conduct continuous checks on all amenities, ensuring they remain in excellent working condition not only during the Summits but also in the future,” she added.
