Museveni opens Rwenzori Expo
President Yoweri Museveni has commended the people of Kabarole District in
particular and Rwenzori Sub-Region at large for embarking on income generation
activities in order to banish poverty and create prosperity.
"I am happy to be here and witness that you are waking up and started the task of
generating income. I am impressed with the value addition I have seen that
covers agro-products. Commercial agriculture will go a long way towards
generating income. However, we must diversify and stop depending on one
sector. Industries should be used for diversification," he said.
The President was Friday speaking at Rwenzori University in Fort Portal
Municipality during the launch of the two-day Agri-led Expo 2020 under the
Operation Wealth Creation, led by Gen. Salim Saleh.
