Colonel Edith Nakalema promised business owners from Eritrea that Uganda will help them succeed. She runs the State House Investors Protection Unit and wants foreign companies to feel safe here. The meeting happened at her Kampala offices on Tuesday July 1st. Top officials from the city authority came to discuss problems that have been bothering these investors. Building permits and slow project approvals were the main issues on the table.
Nakalema told the Eritrean business people that government will back their ventures. She wants them to know Uganda supports international investment and economic growth. The investors had complained about red tape that slows down their construction projects. City planners often take months to approve building applications. These delays cost companies money and hurt their business plans.
KCCA sent two key staff members to the important discussion. Vincent Byendaimira leads physical planning for the capital city. Bernard Tukwasibwe works as a physical planner under his department. Both men listened to complaints about permit problems and lengthy approval processes. They promised to work faster on future applications from foreign investors.
The meeting shows how serious Uganda is about attracting overseas money. Government leaders want to make doing business easier for international companies. Eritrean investors put millions into local projects that create jobs for Ugandans. Quick permit approvals help these businesses start operations sooner. Better cooperation between agencies means fewer headaches for everyone involved.
