Rupareria Group of companies has expressed readiness to host the G77 south summit in January next year. Uganda was supposed to host the G77 south summit in 2020 but the arrangements were affected by Covid-19.
However, the country will host the summit from January 21 to 23rd at Speke Resort Hotel Munyonyo. The Rupareria Group said the construction of the convention center project is ongoing smoothly and they are optimistic that everything will be complete by November this year.
So far, the construction of the conventional centre, according to Rupareria Group chairman, Sudhir Ruparelia, is at 64 percent. Sudhir said the project consists of 1,000 onsite workers, working day and night to ensure meeting with the deadline.

Ugandan government that also has shared in Speke Resort Munyonyo is meeting 50 percent of the costs through the Uganda Development Corporation (UDC). This means the Ruparelia Group is also footing 50% of the total construction costs.
UDC is the investing arm of the Government of Uganda, whose mission is to establish or invest in sustainable investments in areas strategic to Uganda’s social and economic transformation and prosperity.
