Edith Nakalema, convened a high-profile meeting on August 13, 2025 with top government and security officials to strengthen oversight and protect investors in Uganda&#8217;s gold trade sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The closed-door discussions brought together key figures from multiple agencies in a coordinated effort to clamp down on illicit gold transactions that have undermined the sector&#8217;s credibility and cost the government substantial revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the attendees were Eng. Irene Bateebe, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development; Brigadier General Henry Isoke, Head of the State House Anti-Corruption Unit; and Brigadier General Mike Kisame, Head of Security at Entebbe International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.messiahradio.co.ug\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250814_061120-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5946\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also present were AIGP Frank Mwesigwa, Director of Operations at the Uganda Police Force; ACP Julius Caesar Tusingwire, Commander of the Police Mineral Protection Unit; Mr. Fred Bamwesigye, Director General of the Uganda Civil Aviation Authority; and Ms. Agnes Alaba, Commissioner at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participants focused on strategies to combat gold smuggling, fraudulent trade practices, and corruption within the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Key discussion points included the need for tighter regulations, improved inter-agency cooperation, and enhanced monitoring at strategic exit points like Entebbe International Airport, which has been identified as a major transit hub for illegal gold shipments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brigadier General Isoke reaffirmed the government&#8217;s zero-tolerance stance on corruption, warning that officials involved in gold-related graft would face severe consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Security chiefs outlined plans to deploy advanced surveillance and intelligence-sharing systems to dismantle smuggling networks, while the Uganda Police Force and Mineral Protection Unit pledged to intensify crackdowns on illegal mining and unlicensed gold exports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development proposed policy adjustments to close existing loopholes, including implementing mandatory documentation for all gold exports and stricter penalties for non-compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The discussions also explored ways to streamline licensing procedures for gold dealers while implementing stricter tracking mechanisms to ensure transparency in transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Col. Nakalema announced the establishment of a follow-up task force to implement the agreed measures, with regular progress reports to be submitted to relevant authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Industry stakeholders cautiously welcomed the initiative, expressing hope that these measures will restore trust in Uganda&#8217;s gold trade while attracting legitimate investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Uganda positions itself as a regional hub for gold trade, the success of these efforts will depend on sustained enforcement and collaboration among all relevant agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The meeting concluded with an agreement to establish a dedicated task force to oversee implementation, with progress reports to be regularly reviewed by top government officials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kampala, Uganda &#8211; The Head of the State House Investors Protection Unit (SHIPU), Col.
