RUBANDA: Authorities in Rubanda District have officially commissioned a brand-new multipurpose hall at Bufundi College Kacereere, constructed at a cost of Shs. 300 million. The state-of-the-art facility, built by Geses Uganda Ltd, marks a significant milestone in addressing the school’s long-standing infrastructure challenges.
The Rubanda District Officer in Charge of Buildings Control, Eng. Bob Bwebale, confirmed that the structure had been inspected and found to be “perfect.” Eng. Peter Nkurunungi, Director of Geses Uganda Ltd, shared that the company decided to tile the floor of the multipurpose hall as a bonus, despite it not being included in the original contract, as a gesture of goodwill and appreciation for their collaboration with the Rubanda District Local Government.
The newly commissioned hall can accommodate up to 400 students and boasts modern features such as a spacious stage for presentations and performances, facilities for recreational activities, enhanced lighting systems, and efficient ventilation. It is designed to function as a school assembly hall, dining area, and examination center, effectively ending the four-decade-long practice of students trekking to church premises to sit for their final exams.
The hall was officially inaugurated on Tuesday by a delegation led by Rubanda Resident District Commissioner Eric Ssewandigi and LC.5 Chairperson Ampeire Stephen Kasyaba. The project’s conception was rooted in a proposal from the school’s head teacher, Mbabazi Manniex, who sought support to address the lack of a main hall, which had been a significant challenge affecting the quality of education at the school.
Chairperson Kasyaba explained that the school’s Board Chairperson, Bruce Balaba Kabaasa, had initially approached State Minister of Finance and Rubanda East MP Henry Musasizi for assistance. Musasizi advised the school to submit a formal request to the Central Government through the District Local Government, which eventually led to the project’s realization.
