MUNYONYO, KAMPALA — Speke Resort Munyonyo has reaffirmed its reputation as one of Uganda’s leading conference and hospitality destinations after hosting the induction seminar for Members of the country’s 12th Parliament.
The orientation programme brought together newly elected legislators from across the country to familiarise them with parliamentary procedures, legislative responsibilities, oversight functions, budgeting processes and their representative role before the commencement of the new parliamentary term.
Held at the resort’s modern conference facilities on the shores of Lake Victoria, the seminar provided a setting for lawmakers to engage with parliamentary officials, government institutions and constitutional bodies on matters central to effective service delivery and governance.
The choice of Speke Resort Munyonyo reflects its longstanding reputation for hosting high-profile national, regional and international events, supported by world-class conference infrastructure, accommodation and hospitality services.
Over the years, Speke Resort Munyonyo has become a preferred venue for government meetings, diplomatic engagements, corporate conferences and international summits.
The resort boasts multiple conference halls of varying capacities, advanced audiovisual technology, high-speed internet connectivity and dedicated event management services that enable organisers to host events ranging from small executive meetings to large conventions.
Its strategic location, approximately 13 kilometres from Kampala’s city centre and overlooking Lake Victoria, provides delegates with a peaceful environment conducive to learning, dialogue and networking.
Speaking after the seminar, the resort’s management said it was honoured to host the induction programme and pledged to continue providing facilities that support leadership development and national dialogue.
“We remain committed to providing an environment that fosters learning, collaboration and leadership development.
