People who are most corrupt earn big monies in the government but still steal, Mzeyi president Kaguta earns little but he does not steal.
Hon Hassan Kirumira: You sold your plot of land to ensure your child studies at the university, but they haven't found a job after school, it's time to wake up because they are taking our country.

This afternoon, I presented my Statement to the COMESA Summit underway in Lusaka running under the theme-" Economic Integration for a thriving COMESA anchored on green investment, Value addition and tourism.’
I advocated for an end to fragmented markets and non-tariff barriers which are still major bottlenecks to trade and regional integration. Thankfully,
The AfCFTA is critical in addressing these barriers.
Today, Africa has a population of 1.373 billion people and, the largest arable land of 874 million hectares. This must be translated to creating greater opportunities, as we strive to make the best use of our resources. I'm glad to note that in 2021, COMESA regained its position as Uganda’s number one export destination with a percentage increase of 21% from US dollars 2006.19 million in 2018 to US dollars 2435.81 million in 2022. We can still achieve more!
I thank President Hakainde Hichilema for the very warm reception accorded to my delegation and I.
