Pioneer Easy Bus seeks 25 Billion Shillings for Namboole Stadium parking lot
The owners of Pioneer Easy Bus company have asked the government for 25 billion shillings as compensation to abandon their parking lot at Namboole Stadium. The company says they allegedly got a 49-year lease for the use of the land from the Uganda Land Commission. The move follows an order from the Speaker of Parliament to have the broken-down buses moved away from the lot, ahead of the commissioning of the Mandela National Stadium in Namboole. However, the State Minister of Sports, Peter Ogwang, says the Pioneer Easy Bus owners owe Namboole Stadium management 157 million shillings for the use of the parking lot. The request came during a session of parliament from where Juma Kiirya reports.
