Gen. Caleb Akandanwaho, aka. Salim Saleh, the Chief Coordinator of Operation Wealth Creation (OWC), has taken a sharp position and urged Ugandans to fully embrace what he termed “Musevenomics” ideology to guarantee Uganda’s economic growth.
In a message aired on UBC TV station on Tuesday, September 23rd, 2024, Gen. Saleh explained that Musevenomics ideology is all about the key strategies that will lead Uganda into the desired integrated, independent, and self-sustaining modern economy.
After the NRM government took over in 1986, Uganda’s economy had collapsed as a result of civil wars at that time, and in a bid to revive it, President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni developed strategies that became the foundation for revitalizing the economy to a modern one.
Gen. Salim Saleh also reaffirmed the government’s commitment to establishing 25 industrial parks by 2030, with 12 already operational.
He also highlighted the significance of the Kapeeka Industrial Park and emphasized that this initiative aims to give back to the community and bolster Uganda’s economic development.
The Musevenomics ideology has a total of 12 strategies, including industrialization, which requires establishing industrial parks across the country, security of persons and property, privatization, and liberation.
Others include the return of Asian properties that had been confiscated by the previous regimes, diversification of crops, a point in case people of Northern and eastern Uganda have begun growing coffee, regional integration, UPE, and USE, cost of doing business, fighting corruption, monetarization, skills development, and solving youth unemployment through industrialization.
