Ruparelia Group matriarch Jyostna cuts the take at the opening of Kingdom Kampala yesterday.

The latest addition to the city’s skyline Kingdom Kampala was officially opened yesterday and it was revealed by the building’s architect Christopher Higenyi that most of the materials used were local.

“Several local products including barkcloth were used. This mixture makes it a beautiful place and we are happy that it has improved the city’s skyline,” Higenyi said.

Mostly local materials were used for the building.

With Grade A retail and office space that meets international standards, Kingdom Kampala is proof that something being Ugandan doesn’t mean its poor quality.
