Mps on the parliamentary committee Gender,labour and Social Development have called for renovation of the National Theatre to cope up the fast modern development of kapmapal.
Mps made the call while meeting the officials of the Uganda National cultural centre led by its Executive Director Francis Peter Ojeke.
The committee chaired by the woman member of parliament for Nakasongola district Margaret Komuhangi noted that the National Theatre is out dated and it needs reconstruction.
The woman mp for Koboko county Margaret Babadiri said that the management of the National Theatre should look for funds to give the theatre a face lift .
The Executive director of the National Theatre Francis Peter Ajeke agreed with mps that the theatre building is in poor condition and asked mps to support the funding of the theatre so as it renovated to the standard of the modern buildings in kampala.
He said that the theatre should not be demolished because it’s a heritage in its own to attract tourists .

He said that the Nomo gallery does not currently generate much revenue for government because of heavy deployment at its entrance since its near state house and added that people are scared away by security and the price of products sold there are too expensive to local people.
