We encourage these people to come and invest in Uganda, then frustrate them. Why on earth doesn’t the Government legislate against the importation of something already being produced in the country? You hear the Government has imported ballot papers, UNEB also brings in exam print from abroad, Coca-Cola prefers non-Ugandan sugar. What the hell is wrong with us? Who is supposed to consume what we produce? The name Muhwezi sounds big in both the Ministry of Health and the Uganda Investment authority corridors. Can’t they hold peace talks over this?
