On a personal note, I would like to wish Rotarian Henry Ssentoogo a safe passage home from England where he has been on treatment after surgery. He is expected to travel home today, 12th December.

  • Emerging Trends on Condominium Housing Sector of Uganda
    EMERGING TRENDS ON CONDOMINIUM HOUSING SECTOR OF UGANDA 1.0 Introduction. Housing is a fundamental human right which is essential to every individual, family and community’s wellbeing as envisaged in Article 25 of the United Nations Universal Declarations of Human rights.1 The 1995 Constitution grants land ownership rights solely to citizens of Uganda. Foreigners cannot own land freehold. They may, however, obtain leases for 49 or 99 years. Foreigners can either rent/lease from citizens or from the Government.2Condominiums (condos) are the fast emerging concept that Ugandans are embracing despite the fact that the Condominium laws were passed enacted almost twenty years ago. Condos in Uganda are regulated by Condominium Property Act No. 4 of 2001 enacted on 23rd February 2001and Condominium Property Regulations the regulations enacted on 26th April 2002. Condominium refers to a system of separate ownership of individual units in a multiple unit building, the individual units of which are designated for separate ownership and the remainder of which is designated for common ownership solely by the owners of those units.3 The purpose of the act and regulations were to provide for the division of buildings into units and common property: to provide for individual ownership of those units by issuance of certificates of title in relation to the units as tenants in common; and to provide for the use and management of the units and common property and for the connected matters. Examples of condominiums include Bugolobi flats, Bukoto flats to mention but a few.
