History
In 2005, the Uganda Inspectorate of Government acquired a piece of real estate, measuring 1.2 acres (4,900 m2) of land from the Uganda Post Office after paying USh5.4 billion (approximately US$2.2 million at that time).[4]
Construction is budgeted at $19 million (approximately US$69 billion in 2019 money). In July 2019, after fourteen years of planning, a ground-breaking ceremony was held at the present location. A consortium comprising Roko Construction Limited, a Ugandan construction company and its Rwandan subsidiary, ROKO Construction Rwanda Limited, was awarded the construction contract. Completion is expected in 2023.[1][3][4]
The work is 100 percent funded by the Government of Uganda. The new office tower will save the government at least Shs2.5 billion (approximately $680,000) in annual rent.[3]
