Makerere University has signed a contract with Kalsa Development Uganda Limited to renovate two parking sites of Nkrumah Hall and JICA. The four months project was handed over to the Director Kalsa Developments Uganda limited, Mandeer Singh, by Makerere University Director Estates and Woks Department, Fred Nuwagaba, on 31st July 2015.
According to Nuwagaba this project aims at increasing the parking space within the university starting with JICA and Nkrumah. He stressed that JICA and Nkrumah are some of large parking spaces at Makerere University, with a holding capacity of 50 vehicles. He explained that the current poor state of the parking leaves this facility underutilised leading to congestion and illegal parking elsewhere in the University.
“This project is expected to start on 10th August 2015 and it will take four months to complete. During this period, the different users will experience inadequate parking space, noise and dust. We request you to bear with us,” he said.
“We shall be working within the academic semester; during this period the buildings will be fully under use hence we expect some inconveniences on both sides of the contractor, staff and students. However, this is an assurance that the team is already coming up with the plan to minimise these interruptions,” he said.
Mandeer Singh pledged that his company will deliver on time. “We are very grateful to Makerere University for this opportunity to serve. I am very happy that the institution has again entrusted us with another job, this shows that you really have confidence in what we do. We promise that we shall not disappoint you but only deliver to your expectations.”
According to the Estates Director, the choice of Kalsa was based on the company’s capacity of pre-financing the project with a team of high experienced and fully equipped individuals. The event was attended by the Deputy Dean of students Stephen Kateega, the Warden Nkruma Hall John Simbwa, Deputy Director Kalsa Development Davinder Singh, Ntambi Amos from Kalsa Development Uganda Limited among others.
