Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The Honorary Consul of Namibia to Uganda, Ambassador Godfrey Kirumira, has urged local investors to expand their investments to Namibia after the creation of an enabling economic environment.<\/p>\n

Ambassador Kirumira made the remarks while meeting the local business community during a thanksgiving ceremony for his new appointment as an honorary consul of Namibia in Kampala last Friday.<\/p>\n

He said he talked to both the government and business officials in Namibia and they expressed willingness to have Ugandans invest in their economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI pledge to work closely with both Uganda and Namibia enterprises and government agencies to promote trade and investment and to identify areas of mutual interests and benefit,\u201d Ambassador Kirumira said.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cI believe there are several sectors where Namibia and Uganda can collaborate and achieve our shared economic goals including agriculture, tourism, mining and renewable energy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trade between Uganda and Namibia is growing albeit slowly with the former exporting pharmaceutical products, coffee and grains. Namibia exports less to Uganda.<\/p>\n

Ambassador Kirumira is one of the Ugandan businesspeople who have been allocated land in Namibia to establish investments.<\/p>\n

He said Ugandan companies dealing in pharmaceutical products and tourism will be able to make big gains if they invest in Namibia because the demand for the products and services is immense there.<\/p>\n

The Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, Mr Norbert Mao, said Ambassador Kirumira should use his position to help Uganda learn how to manage its mineral sector from Namibia.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf there is one thing you can do for us, is to learn from Namibia how they have sorted out their mineral sector…. I read that Namibia is one African country that has managed to sort out its mineral sector. Now in Uganda, we have graphite. We have the biggest deposits in Kitgum and Olom,\u201d Mr Mao said.<\/p>\n

Graphite is used in the manufacture of batteries for electric cars.<\/p>\n

Mr Mao said with huge deposits of graphite, Uganda should attract investors such as Elon Musk to visit and invest in that sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cInstead of some of the conmen we see parading in State House, we need to see people like Elon Musk visit State House to talk about our huge deposit of graphite,\u201d Mr Mao said.<\/p>\n

The Namibian Ambassador to Tanzania, Mr Lebbius Tobias, who also handles Uganda, said Uganda and Namibia should give close attention to trade and investment between the two countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow that I am talking to most of the business people, what I want to tell you, please we have the right man in the office. I appealing to you to please go and invest in Namibia. Namibia has the best road networks,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are number one in Africa and globally we are 23. In business terms, you can move from this region to another region without hesitation,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Mr Tobias said Ambassador Kirumira was the right person for the post.<\/p>\n
