As the US thinks of evicting UGANDA as an AGOA Beneficiary, are they consindering the livelihoods of these Exporters who have invested in value addition & are exporting? I truly believe that’s a fundamental human right because trade is about wealth creation & prosperity.

It does not benefit government people because there is nothing to steal but the ordinary Uganda gains.
