{UAH} AMIN DEVELOPMENT LEGACY CONTINUES IN UGANDA.

"No I am not rich. I am one of the poor leaders in the world. And my intention is to work for the people. Not for myself. That is the reason why if you check in all banks all over the world, in Europe, in Asia, in Africa, in the United States of America, you will never find an account belonging to me. Because I work for the people of Uganda.

I am a founder of the economic independence of Uganda." - Field Marshal President Idi Amin Dada (photo attached)

In 1974, following a presidential decree, Field Marshal President Idi Amin established Uganda as a full member of the Organization of Islamic Conference and its development bank.

To this day, Uganda gets an average $100 million US Dollars grant from the OIC as budget support EVERY YEAR since 1974.

The money goes to fund development projects.

For example, in 2020 Uganda completed a $41 million US Dollars renovation and upgrade of Kayunga and Yumbe regional hospitals so as to provide improved health services to the surrounding rural communities, and save lives, particularly of women and children, and all empoverished Ugandans (and refugees) who otherwise would not have access to quality health care in the region. In March 2016, the Grid Rural Electrification project in Uganda received a grant of $70.7million dollars for expanding the electricity grid to rural areas upcountry.

In 2015, Uganda sought $110million dollars (about Shillings 315.7b) to upgrade the 92 kilometre Muyembe-Nakapiripirit road in North-Eastern Uganda.

Another recent project involved $34million dollars (about Shillings 87bn) for financing enhanced national food security by increasing rice production in the districts of Iganga and Bugiri in the Busoga region, Eastern Uganda.

Other projects through the years have involved electricity generation, clean water, basic health services, technical training & skills enhancement programs. All for the benefit of all Ugandans regardless of their tribe, religion, or the regime in place.

My father's legacy, his service to the people of Uganda, and his contribution to the development of the country, continues.
