{UAH} “I am frustrated by politicians who fight foreign investments”, President Museveni

President Yoweri Museveni has said that the only thing that can create
more employment opportunities for Ugandans, especially the youth in
the country is the establishment of more factories by rich Ugandans
and foreign investors.

Speaking this morning in a meeting with the National Youth Council
leaders led by their chairman Samuel Kavuma who called on him at State
House Entebbe. The President who flew out of the country shortly
after, said it's the bad political ideology of some politicians who
fight the establishment of factories by foreigners that has frustrated
government efforts to create jobs and spur development.

"It disturbs me a lot when I see politicians frustrating efforts by
government to bring in more investors to establish factories that
could create employment opportunities for our youth. The best thing
that can create employment opportunities is the building of more
factories by investors. It is really disturbing when I see leaders
fighting establishment of factories,'' he said.

The President said that it's easier to create wealth through
agricultural sector and that it's very easy to get rich through
agriculture production through commercialization and value
addition to improve incomes.

"There is wealth in the agricultural sector through commercialization
and value addition but I see many people always preferring to move
around rather than engaging in agriculture,'' he said.

The President cautioned the youth and the people of Uganda against
extravagant ways of spending resources especially during times of
weddings.

''Just walk to the office of the CAO or RDC to sign the certificate
of marriage why should I organize discos, fly to foreign countries
for honey moon? What for,? he asked.

President Museveni who shared with the National Youth Council leaders
his experiences as a teacher and a liberator, assured them that what
matters most for any development to be successful is the existence of
peace in the country.
