Uganda’s First Lady has advised hotel owners to pay attention to guest comfort, affordability, food safety, cleanliness, interior decor, fire fighting, clean linen, courtesy and efficiency of laundry services during the forthcoming CHOGM.

“These are the things you should think about. They will make people comfortable and they will remember Uganda as a good place,” Janet Museveni told a meeting of owners and managers of small hotels at Grand Imperial Hotel in Kampala.

She was concerned that the country was not yet ready to host CHOGM.

Relating her experience in Malta during the 2005 Commonwealth meeting, she said it was a small island but put its act together very well.

“But I just cannot say we will beat Malta. I have to wait and see how ours will be,” she said.
