His Excellency the President’s Views about the Presidential CEO forum 8th Sep 2020
- H.E acknowledges PCF as a great initiative that will help in identifying the bottlenecks to business and economic growth so that they are addressed.
- H.E knows that the Government has been working to resolve four issues, namely; the cost of electricity (5 cents), the cost of money (interest rate at 12%), cost of transport (water and railway transport) and the cost of labour, which is still low. The forum is going to compliment the efforts that are in place to resolve these issues gradually.
- H.E believes PCF will come up with Government intervention other than the four aforementioned that the private sector needs in order to make it competitive by producing high quality products at a competitive price.
- H.E requested PCF to champion this through well-researched papers on those areas of Government intervention.
- H.E acknowledges PCF as a platform that will document the areas where the Government ministries have not complied with the BUBU policy so that he can direct them accordingly and also on the issue of delayed payments
“I am pleased to have this platform on board to bridge the gap between the private sector and government, we (government) must appreciate their continued commitment and support, which allows the economy to grow and improve over the years – as championed by the late James Mulwana then.”
President Y.K.T.Museveni.
