Sweden’s shortage of qualified chefs shows that labour is global and borderless. Countries with trained youth can export skills, earn foreign income, reduce unemployment and build dignity through work. Opportunity belongs to nations that prepare their people for global demand…..The question is how many trained professional chefs do we have in Uganda????

@mkainerugaba@KabbyangaB Affirmative CDF @mkainerugaba that's an holistic & functional approach to socio-economic development thru effective public expenditure management. Thank you Gen M.K for your strategic & visionary leadership.
Uganda stands at a decisive moment years after our liberation struggle, the next frontier of sovereignty is economic and industrial self-reliance. One critical sector is road construction and engineering. We cannot continue to outsource major infrastructure projects while local capacity remains underdeveloped. It is time to deliberately invest in and support at least four credible Ugandan road construction companies, including the UPDF Engineering Brigade, to build a strong, competitive, and self-sustaining industry. Countries like Ethiopia have demonstrated that prioritizing domestic firms can accelerate skills transfer, create jobs, and retain capital within the economy. This is not about rejecting foreign partnerships, but about correcting an imbalance that has long disadvantaged local enterprise. Strategic infrastructure should be a foundation for national strength, not dependency. By empowering Ugandan firms, we lay the groundwork for innovation, resilience, and true sovereignty. The road to economic independence must quite literally be built by our own hands deliberately, boldly, and with long-term vision.@KagutaMuseveni@mkainerugaba@GenWamala@HonEchweru
