The government of Uganda ’s failure to subsidize power to support power producers has impacted negatively on the businesses of Kampala ’s property mogul, Sudhiru Rupereria.

The information coming from Equatorial Hotel and City house building among others  indicate that many times the premises of the wealthy man can stay without power for very many days.

We hear ‘mbu’ some of the tenants on the big man’s buildings have vowed not to pay him this month because they have not done business. Ronald Senyonjo, one of the administrators of Sudhiru’s buildings explains to us that they have generators but they can not switch them on because its very expensive to do so

Senyonjo says that they have for example four generators at Equatorial hotel. But the whole place is in darkness because they find it expensive to buy fuel. He says that each of the generators at Equatorial Hotel consumes fuel of one million shillings.
