Is Amama Mbabazi having riches in China?

According to our sources, in 2003, the first lot of Chinese was coordinated by Hon. Amama Mbabazi when he was the Security Minister. He went into the negotiating and signing of oil deals and contracts. Hon. Sam Kutesa was always in diplomatic meetings with Chinese government officials to start weapons trade, oil exploration, and industrialization, among other things.

Mbu President Museveni realized that Hon. Kutesa was always taking a lot of bribes in millions of dollars that Amelia Kyambadde the then PPS to Museveni was overwhelmed with complaints from Chinese.  Then President Museveni brought Salim Saleh on board making a host team of three people. Hon. Kutesa,  Hon. Mbabazi and  Afande Saleh.

Later in 2009, when the Chinese business association pledged to the president to contribute US$15million to facilitate the 2010/11 campaigns, Salim Saleh took over from Hon Amama Mbabazi under the orders of President Museveni.  Hon Kahinda Otafiire tried to come in with the idea to setup a China Town but Hon Kutesa and Hon Kataha resisted his idea.

Afande Salim Saleh reportedly opened for them an information office in Mutundwe at Serene Suites and Ntinda on Capital Shoppers Mall. (December 13, 2009) 105,000 thousand Chinese arrived in Uganda between 2009 and 2012 and the number staggered then due to Walk to Work protests.

In 2013, there were 300 Chinese supermarkets, 1,104 shops and just 15 factories. The rest has ventured into fishing, agriculture, machinery, construction and others were laborers and shop vendors.

Just after a year, poor Chinese who had gained experience started getting capital loans from Exim Bank guaranteed by the Communist Government of China. So they returned and opened up wholesale stores in Kampala and major towns of Uganda extending up to rural urban centres.

 

In 2015 after Amama Mbabazi was dismissed from the team and as Premier of Uganda, Edward Ssekandi, the VP came on board. Chinese doing local businesses but holding investors licenses through corruption enjoyed tax holidays at the expense of local businessmen. Their profits were unmatched.

This prompted the Publicity Secretary of KACITA,  Mugenyi Christopher to form an Association dubbed UMOSTA (Uganda Motor Spares Traders Association) to fight the Chinese. The resistance was too much. For seven years, he has been losing colleagues, his businesses suffocated and he is now nearly out of business.

There are more deaths than public records display. Money from China has has helped to conceal this evil and authorities openly tell off the public to leave the Chinese alone.
