Museveni sat down with some businesspeople from Sharjah who want to drop an inland cargo port somewhere in Uganda to make moving stuff around cheaper and faster. The UAE delegation pitched their plan at State Lodge in Nakasero, and their CEO guy from Gulftainer said they're already hashing out details with government officials and expect to lock down phase one within half a year.
The president told them to speed things up because infrastructure builds like this pump jobs into the economy and burn through electricity and water services while keeping local businesses fed. He mentioned dry ports should focus more on smooth logistics than on collecting taxes, and he promised to back the whole thing.
Negotiations keep rolling as both sides try to upgrade Uganda's transport game and push regional trade connections forward.
