Kadaga said that the United Arab Emirates embassy should facilitate means of the investors to come to Uganda and use the available land and peace to make investments that will provide Ugandan unemployed youth with jobs.

Kadaga also asked the United Arab Emirates to ease the visa acquisition conditions to Ugandans and Africans in general so as people do not face difficulty when they want to travel to Gulf countries. She said that easing visa condition for people going in Arab countries would help them get skills in oil industry management so as these jobs are not taken by foreigners.
