Kampala based property mogul Hamis Kiggundu popularly known as Ham is among the local businessmen who have won President Yoweri Museveni’s trust particularly in creating wealth.
On numerous occasions, the young tycoon has received invitations from the Head of State to address MPs during orientation at Kyankwanzi on how to invest and also get return on investment.
Mr Kiggundu joined Museveni in UAE where the President spent 3 working days, meeting investors and his counterpart Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
The President returned on Wednesday evening.
In many of his speeches Museveni referred to Uganda as a “goldmine” since it is still virgin for investment opportunities, he argued the business moguls to utilize the chance to invest in the Pearl of Africa.
On his part Ham discussed business partnerships for Agro-Processing, value addition and setting up Ham AgroBank which will see majority of Ugandans become direct beneficiaries and participants in the development of our motherland.
Ham has several times denounced brain drain maintaining that Ugandan and Africans as whole should build and transform their own motherland.
He has authored a number of books on success and failure based on reality and reason.
Ham believes that a country like Uganda can be metamorphosed into More Developed Country by it’s own citizens who can take time to critically think about transformation basing on the availability of factors of production (demand and supply).
In most cases, it is a general principle of economics that there are always limited resources but Ham says one’s ability to make it in life or improve their society depends on their ability to brainstorm on the prevailing challenges before them and find a way forward.
“Your ability to find solutions to your problems is the determinant factor of actual prosperity at the end of the day.”
Ham says for anyone to make it life, he or she must approach everything with positive mindset.
