KAMPALA, Uganda — April 14, 2026 — Authorities in Kampala are investigating New Best Hotel in Busega following mounting complaints from residents and local leaders over alleged immoral and illegal activities at the premises.
The hotel, located in the busy Busega suburb, has reportedly been on the radar of both community members and authorities, with accusations that it hosts activities that undermine public morals and pose a threat to security in the area.
Residents and Leaders Raise Alarm
Concerned residents say the situation has been ongoing for weeks, with some claiming that suspicious activities at the hotel mostly occur during late hours.
Local leaders have since called for immediate intervention, urging authorities to take firm action if the allegations are confirmed.
Officials from Kampala Capital City Authority are reportedly aware of the concerns and are expected to work closely with law enforcement to establish the facts surrounding the matter.
Pressure Mounts on Authorities
Authorities, including the Pornography Control Committee, have reportedly raised concerns about activities at the hotel, warning that strict action could be taken if violations are confirmed.
Some leaders argue that failure to regulate such establishments could contribute to rising cases of prostitution, crime, and general insecurity in urban communities.
The issue has sparked renewed debate about the effectiveness of monitoring mechanisms put in place to oversee hospitality businesses across the country.
