{UAH} PRAISE KIRONDE NOT AMIN

PRAISE KIRONDE NOT AMIN

By Kintu Nyago, 

The person who deserved most of the credit for Uganda Houses location in New York City, whom Mr. Zambali is clearly oblivious off is Amb. Apolo Kironde.  He was Uganda's first Permanent Representative to the United Nations. Also he had been tasked to purchase land/property to place our embassy. And fortunately he seemed to be aware of the principal of Location, Location and Location. He was indeed a remarkable man. He also bought a fabulous residence for Uganda in the posh areas of Manhattan and went on to also marry an American movie star. He was a grandchild to Sir Apolo Kaggwa etc...

When Kironde bought the property in the early 1960s it remaind vacate. When Amin visited New York, in 1975he instructed that Uganda House is built. That was his contribution.

But the contribution to obtain a Prime location was Kironde. Zambali however attributes this to Amin, wrongly.
