Uganda’s property mogul, Sudhiru Rupereria is in fight with singer Bebe Cool over 40 millionUgandashillings. The development comes after Bebe Cool recently made a successful show at Munyonyo Resort Hotel Bebe Cool collected approximately 300 millionUgandashillings.

It should also be noted that hundreds of fans attended Bebe Cool’s show not because of his weight as an individual. But because Bebe Cool had advertised Chaka Demus and Pliers. Many people went to Munyonyo to see Chaka Demus and Pliers.

When the fans discovered that Bebe duped them-they became violent and damaged the hotel property. Now Sudhiru insists that Bebe Cool has to pay him for the losses worth 40 million shillings or else he takes the matter to court. We are told that the revelers damaged lights, pavements, and wash rooms at Munyonyo, some thing that annoyed Sudhiru so much.

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.

Although sometimes back he was poor, Kampala’s business mogul Moses Kalungi surprised his poor pals when he said that being poor is a choice people make in life.

Kalungi says that some people might choose to be poor and others willingly decide to be rich. Kalungi was speaking yesterday evening to members of Kampala City Traders Association who met him at his residence in Makindye division.

Kalungi reportedly told them that he and his brother Moses Kirumira, another business tycoon in Kampala were poor but they choose to be rich through working hard and saving their profits.

Kalungi says that the problem with most Ugandans they have a high marginal propensity to consume and lower marginal propensity to save. After addressing the traders Kalungi gave each person who was around 50,000 shillings as transport to take him back.
