Katikkiro of Buganda Charles Peter Mayiga has advised young people, particularly young men, to avoid rushing into building expensive residential houses before establishing themselves financially.Owek. Mayiga, who has previously spoken about the pressure surrounding the so-called “boy-renting” debate, argued that owning a house should not be treated as the immediate measure of success.In a recent post, he reiterated his advice, saying that young people should first focus on growing their businesses and investments before committing large amounts of money to residential construction.Early house construction drains resources needed for growing business. Take your time, grow your investments, an own house will follow as a matter of course.The Katikkiro also cautioned young men against allowing their partners to pressure them into buying or building houses before they are financially ready.Don’t let your partner intimidate you into building/buying a house… it’s a wrong choice for long term financial stability.Zari At 46: What You Missed (PICTORIAL)His comments echo an earlier position in which he questioned why young men would spend hundreds of millions of shillings constructing large houses when the same money could potentially be invested in business.“Why invest over Sh500m in building a house, money you should have used to trade goods in China?” he was quoted as saying.Owek. Charles Mayiga further explained that a house could eventually be used as collateral when seeking a bank loan, but encouraged young people to first focus on building income-generating investments.He also sought to reassure young men who may feel pressured to have a home immediately, saying they should not panic and can eventually build a family home when they are financially prepared.The post Katikkiro urges young men not to let partners pressure them into building homes appeared first on MBU.
