Caught this right after the UWEC Stakeholders Engagement Workshop wrapped.
Mbale is getting Eastern Uganda's first satellite regional zoo, and it's not a standalone attraction. It's a gateway - a deliberate entry point into the Elgon region wildlife/adventure corridor.

A visitor at our stand, deep in the pages of what Bugisu has to offer. The work of putting Destination Elgon on the map - its stories, its trails, its culture - goes on, one reader at a time, reaching both regional and international eyes.

Mamdani was making this claim as keynote speaker at the launch years ago of Andrew Rugasira’s book.
I asked a simple question: If Indians are so naturally gifted at creating wealth such that they now fund Uganda’s entire tax base, then how come there is so much poverty in India?

“...despite being only 1% of the population, account for 65% of uganda's tax revenues...”
the source for this stat are the ugandan indians themselves.
they just made it up.

The Elgon region's uncrowded appeal is an asset, but without matching investments + marketing (digital push & expos), it risks stagnation. Arusha/Kilimanjaro area which is similar to us attracts 10x+ more visitors (50k+ to Kilimanjaro vs Elgon's under 7k estimated annually).
