Museveni plans to change Uganda's labor laws. He wants a minimum wage, no more casual jobs, and better control over job agencies. His cabinet will meet next month to discuss these ideas. The president spoke at Labor Day celebrations yesterday. He thinks each business area needs its own rules.
Museveni said foreign companies should hire local workers. Jobs keep growing across many areas, like farms and factories. The president believes wealth creates jobs, not the other way around. He told stories about people who started small businesses with government money. These programs help create lasting work.
Museveni added that Uganda needs bigger markets beyond its borders. Labor Minister Betty Amongi called workers essential to the economy. According to recent counts, most workers are under 30 years old. The president started new programs to match people with jobs. Leaders gave medals to 61 people for helping Uganda grow.
