Lisa said that having been briefed on President Museveni’s Vision 2040 by Isaac Kigozi the Managing Director of East African Partners (EAP) a company that ushered her into the country, she opted for a fact finding mission but her findings have been extremely amazing.
“As I did my own research on Uganda, the infrastructure and culture, I found many of the amazing improvements that the President has done for his people.”
She also praised Mr. Museveni for involving women in leadership giving an example of Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Kadaga.
Lisa added that due to Uganda’s greatest export which is peace, the country has the potential to become the global health care tourism destination which will in turn boost the economy.
