Earlier today, a high-level delegation from KH Mobility Co Ltd, led by Chairman Mr. Lee Kyo-Hyong and Vice Chairman Mr. Kyunghoo Kim, who also serves as Chairman of the Korean Association Uganda, paid a courtesy visit to the State House Investment and Privatisation Unit (SHIPU). The visit was part of their broader consultations with various agencies in Uganda’s investment ecosystem.

Today at SHIPU, we successfully mediated a dispute between Mr. Gibbs Kibwola and Mr. Farouk Kisambira, an indigenous investor in real estate development.

SHIPU’s intervention arose from a year-long disagreement over the sale of a condominium property valued at UGX 250 million in Kira Municipality, Wakiso District. After a protracted discussion, we assisted the two parties in exploring options, ultimately enabling them to reach a mutually agreeable resolution.

This morning, SHIPU officers met with Dr. Gerald Joseph Nyasulu, an Australian businessman of Malawian origin, along with his team, including Mr. Alex Edgar Echum and Counsel Jonathan Kavuma.
