On Friday, 9th October 2026, I joined H.E. President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni @KagutaMuseveni at State House, Entebbe, for a meeting with medical interns and leaders of the Uganda Medical Association (UMA). I appreciate H.E. for his dedication to supporting Uganda’s medical fraternity, including the Shs125 billion pledge to the UMA SACCO to expand access to affordable credit, promote professional development and create opportunities for health workers. This support is vital to improving the welfare of our medical professionals and strengthening healthcare service delivery. 🇺🇬

I congratulate Uganda on 64 years of Independence! Under the leadership and guidance of H.E. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni @KagutaMuseveni, our country has enjoyed peace and stability, creating an enabling environment for investment and attracting investors to explore opportunities across various sectors. I welcome more investors to Uganda to take advantage of our favourable investment climate and contribute to job creation and economic growth. As we join the rest of the world in celebrating this important day, I encourage all Ugandans to take pride in our nation, remember that Uganda is our one and only home, and play our part in supporting its continued growth and progress. Happy 64th Independence Day, Uganda! 🇺🇬 #UgandaAt64

Today, I joined the Uganda Manufacturers Association (UMA) for a consultative engagement with manufacturers and key stakeholders to discuss practical ways of strengthening Uganda’s manufacturing and investment environment. A key focus was the operationalisation and revamping of the Uganda’s One-Stop Centre into OSC 2.0—with a vision of making investor facilitation more proactive, coordinated and responsive, including stronger investor aftercare and improved coordination among Government agencies. We also listened to concerns raised by manufacturers on areas including the 30% TAT cash deposit requirement, proposed alternatives such as a 10% bank guarantee or insurance bond, aspects of the Employment (Amendment) Act, 2025, and taxation of foreign-sourced income. These engagements provide an opportunity for Government and the private sector to examine practical solutions that support compliance, competitiveness and investment while protecting the interests of workers and businesses. As Uganda advances its 10-fold growth strategy, a productive and competitive manufacturing sector will be essential to expanding production, strengthening local value addition, accessing regional and global markets, and creating more opportunities. I appreciate UMA and the manufacturing fraternity for the constructive dialogue. I look forward to continued engagement as we work towards a more responsive investment environment that enables businesses to invest, produce, expand and grow.

Today, I led a delegation from Resident Cement Company Ltd, led by Group Chairman Dr. Abbas A. Waziri, to a meeting chaired by H.E. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni (@KagutaMuseveni) at State House, Entebbe. The discussion focused on investment opportunities in cement manufacturing and minerals, as well as prospects for exporting Ankole cattle and dairy products to Nigeria. I appreciate H.E. @KagutaMuseveni for his strategic guidance and for welcoming opportunities that can strengthen value addition, local production and intra-African trade. nitter.cf/AminahMukalazi/status/…

Today, I attended the #NRMParliamentaryCaucus at Kololo, joining fellow leaders for discussions on matters of national importance and Uganda’s development priorities. I appreciate H.E. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni (@KagutaMuseveni) for chairing the engagement and for his continued strategic leadership and guidance as we work to strengthen investment, promote local content, support businesses and expand opportunities for Ugandans. The discussions provided an important platform to exchange perspectives on priorities that contribute to Uganda’s economic transformation.

Yesterday, I led Balta SA Ltd to yet another meeting with H.E. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni (@KagutaMuseveni) on their proposed investment in Uganda. Following the President’s earlier approval of the project, the proposed investment is now taking shape, with a focus on adding value to Uganda’s wolfram/tungsten and advancing mineral beneficiation, local investment and job creation. I appreciate the Balta SA Ltd team for choosing Uganda as their investment destination and for their interest in contributing to value addition within our mineral sector. The meeting was also attended by Hon. @KiryowaKk the Minister of Defence and Veteran Affairs.

A short story from yesterday’s event. Uganda remains an attractive investment destination, offering opportunities across various sectors. Come and invest in Uganda. We are ready to support you and help create an environment where your investments can grow and thrive.

This evening, I officiated at the 3rd General Assembly of the Uganda Sichuan-Chongqing Association in Kampala, attended by H.E. Wu Guangrong, Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China to Uganda. I appreciated the people of China for their continued investment in Uganda and the contribution of Chinese investors to manufacturing, agro-processing, infrastructure, skills transfer, value addition and job creation. Uganda offers investors access to the EAC, COMESA and wider African markets, reliable and expanding energy, industrial parks and investment support through UIA. I encouraged investors from Sichuan and Chongqing to explore opportunities in agro-industrialisation, manufacturing, mobility, technology and other priority sectors as we work to expand investment and create more jobs for Ugandans.
