For sure,this is kalina house. or is it kalina abiri. the gentlemen who built this house is quite innovative.  I have surely seen a house like this one  on the Busujju -Kiboga road. I guess what one sees in Kampala the bonnna bagagawale programs and the Commonwealth meeting economic temperatures that have risen with the recent construction of the  kalina houses,the skyscrapers-- its these may be that make him think he can impress others to come and rent his house.

Hey, but you can be sure of one thing, and that is  --- by the standards of where he stays and where he has set up this house-- this man is a hero of the village. its his monument put up since he canot afford to put up one like that of Kabamba barracks.  A hero. a HERO a HERO a HERO,and an ENGINEER a man of high intelligence,if he manages to get people to rent his house , then the song will be sung even loudly mbu BONNA BAGAGGAWALE.

PPL

Do not dismiss this property.  It depends on the location of the property and the building permits required to remodel.  It is happening in my adopted city.  People buy rundown property in a nice neighbourhood; tear down all the walls accept for one and build a new home and call it remodel there by avoiding paying higher property tax if you remodel.  Then they wait a year later and tear down the remaing old wall and put something else, there by aquire new home without tax implications.

So that person might have an angle.  What is the price?

LOL

No fixed price. Goes to the highest bidder.

Kaks - I've been told this building actually exists!  For a while there I thought you'd played around with the photo!!!  I guess this is one way of keeping culture alive!!!  QS - I am deadpan serious - I want the land though...  

8:24 PM on February 20, 2007

kakokoolo said:

I found the pic in my inbox & decided 2 share it. Didn't alter it at all. Who says u need a PhD to build a skyscraper?

4:45 AM on February 21, 2007

Qsheeba said:

SB

You may have to fight me for this property SB depending on location.  Remember I was the one who was serious about it...........lol  I have an idea.  Kaks secures the property for SB and QS and he becomes the property manager.  It all depends on location....................LOL

9:28 PM on February 22, 2007

kakokoolo said:

Wot is my cut?

2:06 AM on February 24, 2007

Qsheeba said:

kaks

You get the property manager's negociated salary.  Maybe you could get finder's fee.........LOL

9:11 PM on February 24, 2007

kakokoolo said:

Ya. I want my cut upfront. No 'ifs' & 'buts'.

4:01 AM on February 26, 2007

Sugarbabes said:

Ok where have you got up to Kaks? How about we secure this propery as members? check out the lease - should be freehold or would it be on mailo land????

7:48 PM on March 2, 2007

Qsheeba said:

I think the Embozi group should buy the property as investment again it depends on location.  Kaks will be the leader on the project.  We all have been talking about what we can do to help our country to develop.  We tear down the original house or keep it as a reminder.  We can then turn the property into a dormitory for low income or students or turn it into affordable rent house for the working poor.  The goal is not to make a lot of money, but to make enough to be able to fund other projects.  I say if we all contribute $100 if is achievable.  What do you guys say and think?

This time I’m making my two cents worthy contribution of this embozi work to support our motherland.  On the other hand the original house should stay as a guest house to the Diaspora people to stay in and relax before they face their families and friends…….LOL  

9:05 PM on March 2, 2007

Sugarbabes said:

I like your line of thought QS on acquiring this property.  Count me in - who is the treasurer going to be?    Kaks - I second that nomination, esp on any reconstruction work required on ground..  As for using it as a guest house in its present state, not until i've seen the safety and environmental officers report on it..  BTW Kaks you are slipping - still waiting on all asked...

8:34 AM on March 6, 2007

kakokoolo said:

Been a little busy folks. I am conducting field work at a factory in K'la for the next 3 weeks so I may be a little scarce.

Tiica said he knows where this house is located. P'se send directions so we can check it out.

QS, I like the idea but honestly this house looks like it will need a lot of mods be4 it is up to your tastes.

4:28 AM on March 8, 2007

Qsheeba said:

Yes Kaks we are not interested in the house; just the property, the land.  Tear the house down and build a new modern home or appartments depending on how big the property is.  Like I keep saying location is important.  The property must be close to a university and close to power or must be within the out skirts of a town.

10:34 PM on March 8, 2007

kakokoolo said:

QS, Why tear down this bldg down and not preserve it 4 tourists? Could bring in some bucks.

Tiica pliz. Come & help us locate this house.

9:58 AM on March 12, 2007

Qsheeba said:

If I remember right Kak is an environmental engineer correct me if I'm wrong.  With that said I second the motion by SB for Kaks as treasurer.  We need a lawyer in this mix to keep us on the straight and narrow...............LOL

Tiica should we send out a search to find you.................LOL

I know I have been missing myself, too busy at work.  Kaks email me

9:28 PM on March 15, 2007

kakokoolo said:

QS, I did e-mail. No reply.

I agree we need a lawyer to make sure we understand the jargon in any contract we enter.

Tiica, r u on strike coz of poor pay? Almost everybody seems 2 be striking these days.

8:19 AM on March 18, 2007

Qsheeba said:

Kaks

I have emailed you about 3 times and no answer, I thought you did not want to communicate with me.  One way around it would be for you to give SB the right to share your private email addy with me if that would be ok with you.  

TIICA, definately we are sending out a search party for you.  We need this property.  The name of the hotel or hostel would be Ugpulse hotel that is if it is ok with admin since copy right infringement might apply here..........................LOL

8:37 PM on March 19, 2007

kakokoolo said:

QS, I did receive 3 e-mails from u via this website & I did reply. Will instruct SB to pass on e-mail adress if it helps but if i were u I would check my junk mail 1st.

6:03 AM on March 23, 2007

Qsheeba said:

Kaks

I never received your emails try one more time.

By the way update on this house

8:33 PM on March 25, 2007

TIICA said:

SORRY FOR THE SILENCE HERE ON MAI PART

Oh yes I had said i have seen this house before, it used to be on the Busunju - Kiboga - Hoima road. The last time I saw it was about 10 monhts ago, though I cannot locate the exact village where it is, but am sure it is  between Kiboga town and Busunju. I will try to get contacts from home and send ypou a feed back as to where. Hey, i just hope the  Busunju  - Kiboga - Hoima road construction team has not cleared it as they work on expanding te road now that plenty of  OILO has been found near Lake Albert.

May be we should ask ADMIN to send Businge Gerald - aouthor of interesting articles on Ugpulse to make research on this house. But am sure the one I SAW IS ON THE MENTIONED ROAD !! i JUST ADMIRED THE  TRAD-MODO (traditional -modern) TECHNOLOGY.

I'd like to buy this house for 5000 ugs . You guy don't see the potential of this house :-)

You pipo thanks for your kamagazine, but make some stories like red pepper. I know you pipo there have buvuyo but we never read about them.

hey will offer ma services for a good lawyer! any one to assist me?...nah dont trust kak with cash!!! he will forget em while on field...SB what do u say?

1:40 AM on April 9, 2007

Sugarbabes said:

Present ladies and gentleman @ Kaks roll call!  I'm still on easter break though...

Good to see and hear your offer DN.  I will second that @you being our lawyer. Sista don't get too greedy though...some o' dem lawyers are giving a new name to robbery!  Kaks will behave only so long as you is there to keep him focussed on not confusing the accounts to deposit the money into and vice-versa!  Though on second thoughts...  Tiica - your suggestion at getting Gerald on the case is very good, it's not good that we start making plans on a ghost property people!!! Though perhaps we need to put some dosh in the bag for Gerald to be doing this legwork...

Nakimuli and Brenda - if only you'd register ppl. I'm sure we have loads to hear from you both in the forums etc.. Nakimuli thanks for that website link - - how about you post something on it in the business forum?  Personally, I aint too sure about mimicking redpepper but there could be those that might see light in your proposal...

6:34 AM on April 10, 2007

Qsheeba said:

Brenda

5000 ugs for this property is an insult to the property owner.  It will make the property owner not take us too seriously.  Let us be respectiful to the property owner and make an honest offer.

I agree with SB we should pay the reporter to check this property out for us..............my two cents

10:22 PM on April 10, 2007

'Owe Mpeewo' prolly means he/she is a Muganda belonging to the Mpeewo (an antelope like animal) clan. Am I right Owe Mpeewo?

7:15 AM on April 14, 2007

Qsheeba said:

owe Mpeewo I have no clue what you said.

Kaks should give up on this project?

7:47 PM on April 16, 2007

Qsheeba: Mpeewo wants to get in touch with the property owner... (to cut the long story short) though his contact number is fishy...

This is a historical house.  First high rise in Busunju village.  This house should be kept to remind us where the foundation of highrises started in Africa.  It should be kept in the museum of houses so that our future children can witness the foundation of our forefather's which they laid for all of us to start thinking living well.  Hey! this man is a genius.  He has trully made history.  I would like to buy this house and the land sorrounding this historical house.   I would like to tell you all that this house is worth a million dollers.

I give the man who build this house thumps up. We should have more men in Africa who thinks just like this man.  This man thinks beyond any other men sorrounding his village.  It is good to know that there is such a man who thinks day and night to make ourlives better.  Any thing a man done to change our lives is respected a million times.  May the Lord make this man go to school and make his dream of building highrises come true.  He just needs a little bit of pushing and everything will be allright.

12:28 PM on July 27, 2007

kakokoolo said:

OK fellows. We need 2 go & check this house out. Magidalena Mukabya says it is in Busunju. Emboozilists in UG, I say we jump in a taxi & go find this house. We speak 2 the owner & take a few pics. May be we can even have a picnic, eat some of the guy's ffene/miyembe and then come make a report here. I am made 2 understand the emboozists in diaspora r serious about buying the house!!

laughing aside this is the usual of construction in the madagascan villages i travelled through, they add a balcony to the front and sometime stairs leading upstairs are visible too!

You need to be paid to get into the house as it can fall anytime,it is however very innovative architecture which needs to be perfected.Well done to the designer.It may not be fit for human habitation but definitely chicken would do well residing in such a haven.
