Science Is The Basis Of Modernization – Museveni Says As He Launches CEO Forum

President Museveni said on Tuesday that a scientist is not a mere observer but an actor in the economy. The President on Tuesday launched the Presidential CEO Forum.

During the ceremony, he said that if Uganda is to develop technologically, it has to first pay its scientists well.

‘’I am glad my colleagues have agreed on paying scientists well. You must go to higher-level technology so that we protect ourselves but also make money. Foreigners have been making money out of germs for a long time. Check on the internet and see the amount of money got out of vaccines,’’ he said.

The Presidential CEO Forum is a direct and adequate link between the private sector leadership, CEOs from corporate institutions, and Govt executives. The aim is to contribute to the national development agenda.

On many occasions, president Museveni has reiterated the government’s commitment to enhance the salaries of scientists.

He always says the government is focused on developing Uganda using a science-led development strategy.

Museveni said his government will continue to improve the training and remuneration budget for scientists.

This will enable the country to train and retain them for their crucial role in the development and sustainability of the country.

He also said he was very happy to launch the Presidential CEO Forum adding that he will organize a retreat in Kyankwanzi. He said this will be for the leaders to harmonize thinking globally.
