He tasked every Ugandan to take it upon themselves to market Uganda as a boiling point of opportunities, a development he says will attract more investors into the country.

“The whole world celebrates our hospitality, our culture, our unique climate, the fertile soils, the exceptional tourism potential, our peaceful environment and enabling laws for business and security. Yes; the Diaspora have known the challenges of working far from home: But, we must work well to make our partners satisfied and tap from their resources that can help us expand our economy so that we are able to secure our future; and you have this opportunity now,” Walusimbi said.
