Government has refuted claims that it planned to demolish the National Theater to pave way for private development. The claims had unnerved artistes and the general public- with many questioning the rationale used to reach at the controversial decision.
It always starts as a rumour. I don’t think government has the capacity to construct a structure like the one Minister Mutuuzo is talking about. Once you start hearing buzzwords like “Public-Private Partnership”, you know that some “investor” is eyeing the property. See what happened to CMI. This may be the beginning of the end of the National Theatre as we know it.
