Hon Minister Evelyn Anite's Terrific Speech At The Ground Breaking Ceremony Of The Development Infrastructure at Kampala Industrial And Business Park.
Together with Hon Katumba Wamala, UK’s Hon Andrew Stephenson, the Uganda Investment Authority board members and other dignitaries, we attended the ground breaking ceremony of the development of infrastructure at Kampala industrial and Business park (KIBP).
Presently, KIBP is the biggest industrial park in Uganda and sits on 2200 acres of land.
It is home to light and heavy industries in sectors like manufacturing, ict, agro processing , mineral processing, vehicle assembling, freight and logistics handling and services among others.
This infrastructure development project at Namanve was as a result of @GovUganda through the Ministry of Finance Planning and Economic Development signing an MOU with Lagan group Ltd Uk, on a joint venture with Dott services Ltd, on March 28th 2018 under contractor facilitated financing arrangements.
Some of the objectives of the development of infrastructure project at the Namanve park include:
-Creating direct and indirect jobs.
-Easing accessibility of land for investments.
-Easing the provision of utilities & other services to investors.
-Establishing an organized & standard industrial zone.
- Easing the introduction of new research, technologies & skills for industrial dev’t.
-Providing dedicated common user infrastructure facilities for investors.
Very proud of the ongoing investment opportunities between the UK and Uganda and today’s Infrastructure development Project ground breaking event at the Kampala Industrial and Business Park (KIBP), Namanve is testament to the UK Uganda partnership.
I applaud H.E President Yoweri Museveni for tirelessly ensuring that the environment is ripe for investors.
