Haruna Kasolo, the State Minister for Microfinance, has said citizens who don’t want to become rich, should leave the country. According to him, being rich is now compulsory and no one can decide not to be.
“Becoming wealthy is now compulsory. You can no longer decide not to do it. This is not for fun but serious business. If you don’t want to become rich, leave Uganda and go to other countries,” Kasolo said.
Haruna Kasolo also says with the emyooga program, wealth creation has been made a government policy.
“We have now made wealth creation a government policy. It is no longer a choice but compulsory. You remember a time when people refused to take children for immunization claiming their children would be killed? We sent RDCs to enforce immunization and the results are visible. If we had not done that, we couldn’t succeed. Now we no longer have whooping cough, measles and polio among other diseases.”
“Wealth creation is now compulsory. We have recruited parish chiefs and will be given computers to register all residents in the parish whose names will be put in the national database. If it’s a man, we want to know, how many wives he has. We must plan for you with clear understanding of who you are.” He added.
