State Minister for Finance in charge of Investment Hon Gabriel Ajedra says Investors have not lived to their expectations of employing local Ugandans as required by the law.

Speaking to Journalists at Parliament he said Investors are supposed to use local man force of about 90% which he says has not been realized.

He said the skills and local material are available in the Country and there is no need of importing manpower when Ugandans are available and can do the same work.

Ajedra farther noted that it’s possible for the Investors to have expatriates from outside Uganda provided they do not go beyond 10% as provided by the law.

A recent report put Ugandan’s productivity below that of other East African countries. According to the State of Uganda’s Population Report 2010, you need one Kenyan to do the work of eight Ugandans. The report also noted that one Tanzanian national can do a job that is done by four Ugandans because there naturally lazy.
