Leaders of the Indian Association in Uganda have hailed President Museveni for what they described as favourable business environment created by his government in the country.
The chairman Indian Association Uganda, Mr Mohan Rao lauded the president for the 3Ps (Peace, prosperity and profitability) and argued that the Peace that was ushered in by the NRM government under leadership of President Museveni has created a conducive environment for investors to run and grow profitable businesses in Uganda.
“These businesses through tax revenues, employment opportunities to Ugandans and production of quality products in goods and services translate into Prosperity for all of us as a nation,” he made the remarks on Saturday while meeting Mr Museveni who is also the NRM presidential candidate, at State House Entebbe.
The Trustee of the Indian Association Uganda, Mr Sudhir Ruperalia said Mr Museveni’s good leadership had spurred the entire business community into investing in Uganda.
Mr Museveni commended the Indian community for supporting the industrialization drive in Uganda and its resultant gains.
“Manufacturing has created 700,000 new jobs and yet the whole public service is 480,000 jobs. Manufacturing alone has more jobs than those in public service. Then when you add the jobs in the services sector, they are 1.3 million plus another 300,000 in ICT sector, we are talking more than two million jobs from non-government, non-agriculture. I have to thank you for this big contribution to our transformation,” MR Museveni said.
