Kampala, Uganda – Kampala’s biggest annual celebration just got a massive boost! Business mogul and philanthropist Dr. Hamis Kiggundu, popularly known as Ham, has unveiled a whopping UGX 200 million sponsorship to fuel the upcoming Kampala City Festival.
Ham Rallies the Business Community
Taking the podium, Dr. Kiggundu made it clear that his contribution is more than just money — it’s a call to action.
“We live in this city, we work here, we employ many people here, and we own properties here. So when an opportunity like this comes to enhance the activities of the city, it is not only my pleasure but should be the pleasure of every businessperson to support. I call upon my fellow businessmen to follow suit,” he said.
His words resonated as a challenge to the private sector to step up and own Kampala’s biggest cultural street party.
