Minister Kasaija stresses peace as key to tourism growth

The Minister of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, Mr Matia Kasaija, has urged Ugandans to maintain peace and security to enhance the country’s tourism industry.

Uganda recently witnessed a series of demonstrations by citizens dissatisfied with service delivery and high levels of corruption.

Additionally, violent murders committed especially by the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) have further disrupted peace.

Minister Kasaija made these remarks on Thursday in Kampala during the second annual Tourism Development Programme Review Conference in Kampala.

"Without peace, there will be no tourism, so we must ensure that the country is stable. When I hear people talking about destabilising this country, I wonder what their intentions are. For those seeking to create instability, take note," Mr Kasaija said.
