After over 60 weeks of preaching about the National Resistance Movement ideology to Ugandans, businessman Odrek Rwabwogo, President Yoweri Museveni’s son in-law has been given an important task to push the country forward.
The outspoken Rwabwogo is now part of a Private-Public working committee instituted by President Museveni last week to revamp Uganda’s dying economy by coming up with resolutions that cabinet will discuss to revamp the economy.
Museveni on Sunday evening at State House Entebbe approved the setup of the committee on investment, economic and government reforms to inject fresh thinking into the functioning of some institutions.
Headed by financial expert and Uganda Telecom chairman Stephen Kaboyo, the committee also has American entrepreneur Deon Heigh of Alliance One, local businessmen Ken Kitariko, Sam Rutega, Felix Okoboi, Gulu-based Timothy Jokene, Bemuga Logistocs’ Ben Mugasha, Christine Apolot, Mukuye, Pradip Karia, lawyer Alex Rezida, businessman Andrew Rugasira, Kamuli district chairman Thomas Kategere, Nixon Kabuye, RDC of Kiboga, Ibra Ssebata, Mathew Bagonza and Jane Ebuke.
Museveni officially met them officially and asked them to start work and Kaboyo reportedly told the president that they are ready to serve Ugandans and the President promised to launch the forum in May 2017.
They will meet the President four times a year and advise him about changes that will accelerate investment, production and productivity in the ministries of trade and export, Agriculture, the financial sector and public service.
Mr Museveni’s senior presidential press secretary Don Wanyama was by press-time yet to officially announce formation of the Kaboyo-led private-public think tank.
