Rt. Hon. Olive Namazzi has stated that the Sheraton Gardens are open to the public, according to a report published by Mbu on Wednesday, 7 October 2026.
The statement, carried in Mbu's headline, addresses public access to the gardens. The report offers no further detail beyond Namazzi's remark that the grounds are accessible to members of the public.
Mbu published the item on the morning of 7 October 2026, attributing the statement directly to Namazzi. The outlet did not include additional context in the summary of its reporting, such as the circumstances that prompted the remark or any conditions attached to public entry.
The Sheraton Gardens are a well-known location in Uganda, and questions over who may use the grounds have drawn public attention. Namazzi's statement, as reported by Mbu, indicates that access is not restricted to a private group.
Because the available reporting is limited to the headline and summary, several basic questions remain unanswered: whether the gardens have any opening hours, whether any fees apply, and whether the statement reflects a change in policy or a clarification of existing arrangements. Mbu's report does not address these points.
What to watch next: whether Mbu or other outlets publish fuller details on access arrangements, including any conditions, hours, or official follow-up from Namazzi or the relevant authorities.
