Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Deputy Speaker of Parliament Thomas Tayebwa has lauded the outgoing Japanese ambassador to Uganda for his contribution to the development of Uganda across different sectors.<\/b><\/p>\n

Fukuzawa Hidemoto started his tour of duty in October 2020 and will be leaving the country in March.<\/p>\n

The diplomat, Tayebwa said, has been key in strengthening the education sector, particularly focusing on basic education by supporting 284 primary schools, offering scholarship opportunities, sponsoring 10-50 students annually, through the African Kommit Program among others.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring his time, he has been able to lobby for increased funding for Uganda\u2019s sectors ranging from education, research, infrastructure and health. Now we have experts from Japan on highway and flyover designs who have been studying our country and helping us come up with the best complete designs of roads in the country,\u201d Tayebwa told Parliament on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Bilateral relations between Kampala and Tokyo span over six decades that have seen the Asian economic giant invest considerably in Uganda.<\/p>\n

Last year, Hidemot threatened a pause on his country\u2019s funding to the roads sector following the government’s failure to maintain roads constructed using their grants.<\/p>\n

What others say<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cOne of our health centers in Nwoya benefitted from his hard work. We want to say thank you so much and hope you will continue working with us,\u201d Judith Achan (Nwoya Woman MP).<\/p>\n

\u201cThey provided solar to Aliro Secondary School and fully equipped the laboratory which is functional up to today,\u201d Samuel Opio (Kole North County MP).<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder the office of the Prime Minister, most especially in the docket of disasters especially on food security. I want to thank him for the development projects among the refugee community\u201d, Minister of State for Disaster Preparedness and Refugees, Esther Anyakun.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to move Parliament to urge government to offer and bestow citizenship of Uganda, for everything good he has done, and once he is a citizen, because of the good things he has done we can ask him to offer leadership in areas where we are lacking,\u201d Ibrahim Semmujju, (Kira Municipality MP)<\/p>\n
