Nov 17, 2006
Former state minister for child affairs, Felix Okot isn’t daunted by leaving cabinet. The Dokolo MP’s business acumen seems to have shot into overdrive.

Okot, who registered his first company, Feliesta Ltd, as a student at Makerere University, has added four new Isuzu buses from Africa Motors to his fleet of buses, which ply the Lira-Kampala, Kampala-Apac and Kampala-Kitgum via Gulu routes.
The buses, estimated at sh200m each, are parked at Mantrac on Seventh Street Industrial Area, awaiting clearance. Immigration records indicate Ogong has been globe-trotting in a mobilisation drive for resources to establish plastics and pharmaceutical plants.
We also hear he is contemplating erecting an assembling plant for buses in Namanve Industrial Park. We are reliably informed Ogong is acquiring big chunks of land in Kampala and Lira at frightening speed.
