The Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, Matia Kasaijja has called on leaders in West Nile to attract more investors to the region, saying the government is focusing on widening the tax base to improve service delivery.
Kasaija made the remarks while speaking at the West Nile Investment Summit in Nebbi district, where he challenged Ugandans to increase production and tap into the wider East African Community market.
Kasaija appealed to all the leaders in the sub region to mobilize the people to embrace the Parish Development Model.
He said West Nile is strategically located with direct access to DRC and South Sudan, thus calling upon the public to take advantage of fertile soils and a growing population as the emerging opportunities.
The state minister in charge of Privatisation and Investment, Evelyn Anite told the people of West Nile that she isn’t politicking, she just wants to make them make money.
The state minister for Northern Uganda, Grace Kwiyucwiny told the people of West Nile to open their language and learn other languages, adding that one cannot do business with only one language.
