President Museveni met with 25 Ugandans living abroad at State House Entebbe on Saturday. The group came from America to discuss investment plans for Uganda. They want to build cheap houses near factories where workers can live close to their jobs. The President liked their ideas about helping people save money and invest back home. He said industrial parks need more housing for thousands of workers.
The diaspora team promised to find buyers for Ugandan coffee, vanilla and tea in North America. They want to create special trade routes that connect local farmers with foreign customers. One member already has a license to import Ugandan alcohol into the United States. The President told them to grow passion fruits because Europeans want to buy them.
The group plans to bring more tourists to Uganda through social media and travel partnerships. They asked for land to build luxury hotels in national parks. The President agreed this would help fight negative stories about Uganda around the world. He officially made them the main diaspora group for the ruling NRM party.
