Lucy Nakyobe, the Head of Public Service and Secretary to Cabinet, has fulfilled a significant promise to honor her late husband, Dr. Anthony Mbonye, by inaugurating a luxurious four-star hotel in Ibanda Town.
The AK Resort, a multibillion shilling project, opened its doors this Christmas, attracting revelers eager to experience its world-class services.
The resort, believed to have cost shs 5 billion, is a first of its kind in Ibanda district.
It sits on expansive land and features a swimming pool, ample parking, beautiful gardens, and a rooftop lounge equipped with premium furniture.
Guests can enjoy high-quality continental cuisine, top-tier accommodations, and an array of modern amenities that position the resort as a beacon of hospitality in Western Uganda.
Dr. Mbonye, who was laid to rest in Rwenkobwa, Ibanda District, in July 2021, had envisioned transformative projects for the region, including establishing a high-profile medical school.
Speaking during his funeral, Nakyobe pledged to complete the initiatives her husband had started to uplift their community through education, job creation, and infrastructure development.
The opening of AK Resort marks a significant milestone in fulfilling that promise. The hotel not only boosts Ibanda’s local economy but also provides employment opportunities for residents.
The project has elevated the district’s profile as a budding hospitality hub, drawing visitors from near and far.
Nakyobe’s commitment to preserving Dr. Mbonye’s legacy while fostering community development has been widely praised.
The AK Resort stands as a symbol of her dedication and a testament to the enduring impact of visionary leadership.
This milestone serves as a shining example of how personal loss can be transformed into lasting contributions that benefit entire communities.
