PRESIDENT MUSEVENI REASSURES INVESTORS ON PROTECTION AND SUPPORT

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has today reiterated his firm
assurance to investors regarding the government’s protection and
support that has been enhanced by new technology.

The President's reaffirmation to investors was made by the Head of
State House Investors Protection Unit (SHIPU), Col. Edith Nakalema at
a high-level engagement with over 30 investors from the Danish
Agriculture and Food Council Trade delegation.

The delegation was led by Mr. Jacob Kahl Jepsen of Green Economy,
Trade and Climate, at the Embassy of Denmark who represented the
Ambassador of Denmark to Uganda.

The Danish delegation expressed their interest in areas of agribusiness,
solar energy solutions and vocational skills development.

“Accordingly, in December 2023, the President commissioned a digital
tool-the Electronic Investors Protection Portal (EIPP) that now serves as
a platform linking Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) and it
enables investors to authenticate investment procedures and contact
persons.

We encourage you to utilize the EIPP to conduct due
diligence,” Col. Nakalema advised investors in her welcome remarks
during a meeting at SHIPU Offices in Kampala.

“The Electronic Investors Protection Portal strengthens investors’
confidence and can be accessed globally offering various services and
investment opportunities, among others.”

Col. Nakalema also reiterated the government's commitment through
SHIPU to expedite the operationalization of investors’ decisions by fast
tracking coordination with line government ministries.

“Therefore, our commitment to you as a Unit is to render your
investments safe, profitable and impactful. Remember, you are not only
partners, you are an integral part of our transformation journey.

So, together let us propel Uganda to a revamped, industrial economy
anchored on value-addition across all sectors,” Col. Nakalema asserted.
Mr. Jepsen expressed his profound gratitude on behalf of the delegation
for the warm hospitality extended to them.

He affirmed his government’s commitment to continue mutual
cooperation with the government of Uganda in the development of
agribusiness and renewable energy.

He further disclosed that they are focusing on the African Market
especially that of East Africa, particularly Uganda.

The Chief Executive Officer, Uganda Tourism Board (UTB) Ms. Juliana
Kagwa encouraged members of the Danish delegation to visit other
parts of the country to get the feel of the ‘Pearl of Africa’ in wildlife, flora
and fauna, the beautiful climate as well as the hospitality of the people.
