Robert Kasaija receiving his award from Claver Serumaga (R), Equity Bank’s Executive Director
HABARI DAILY I Kampala, Uganda I Several Equity Bank business partners have testified that a strong business needs a strong bank.
One of such associates is Robert Kasaija, the Director at Kasaija and Sons Millers Ltd, who has grown from humble beginnings to become one of the biggest names in Busia’s tourism and hospitality sector. He is also the proprietor of Gold Star Resort Hotel Ltd, one of the best hotels in Busia.
What started as a dream of building a landmark hotel in Busia, was nurtured step by step with the support of Equity Bank. Together, Equity walked the journey with him, from his very first facility of Shs 20 million to now managing a development facility worth over Shs 2 billion.
With the guidance and financial backing of Equity Bank, Mr. Kasaija has transformed his vision into reality, purchasing land, overseeing construction, and eventually completing Busia Gold Resort Hotel, now one of the town’s most iconic establishments.
Today, the hotel stands as a beacon of tourism and hospitality in Busia, a testament to resilience, partnership and trust.
On his entrepreneurial journey, Kasaija has demonstrated consistency and growth. No wonder that when the Tupange Business Ne Equity Nationwide Forum, hosted by Equity Bank Uganda, moved upcountry, it caught up with him in Arua.
What makes Kasaija truly exceptional is not just his business success, but his unwavering loyalty. It is for this reason that he was recognized with the Loyalty Award.
Following a triumphant launch in Kampala early in the month, under the theme “Financing Integrated Value Chains and SME Growth,” the forum gathered hundreds of small and medium enterprise (SME) owners, dreamers, and innovators wherever it goes.
