Claim
Gov’t to renovate Namboole stadium at $200 million
Author
Nelson Lufafa
Verdict
Go’vt provided only $18.7 for the renovation exercise
The claim that Mandela National Stadium (Namboole) will be renovated at US$200 million is false.
The claim was made by Nelson Lufafa who through his tweet stated that government provided $200 million to renovate the 40,000 seater stadium.
This is however not true. Government reimbursed $18.7 million (approx.Shs67 billion) for renovation of the stadium.
The figures stated by Lufafa are thus outrageous and misleading.
