Uganda’s export revenue rises 4.5 percent in October – report

Uganda coffee for export

Uganda’s export earnings increased by 4.5 percent to US$311.64 million in October 2019 from US$ 298.11 million in September 2019, according to the Ministry of Finance Performance of the Economy Report for December 2019.

According to the report, the growth in exports for October was mainly on account of a rise in earnings from coffee, fish, tea, cocoa beans and cotton.

However, Uganda’s export earnings increased on a monthly basis but declined on an annual basis.

Compared to October 2018, the report says export earnings decreased by 4.2 percent to US$311.64 million in October 2019 from US$ 325.17 million. Several exports such as gold, oil re-exports, tobacco, hides & skins recorded a decline in the earnings following a drop in their export volumes.

During the month of October 2019, the East African Community was Uganda`s top destination for merchandise exports, followed by the Middle East and the Rest of Africa. The share of Uganda’s merchandise exports to the EAC was 31.7 percent.

Compared to the same period last year, exports to the EAC region fell by 5.1 percent from USD 104.19 million to US$ 98.88 million in October 2019. “Exports to all EAC Partner States declined save for Kenya. Rwanda posted the largest fall, with exports decreasing from USD 21.75 million in October 2018 to USD 1.03 million in October 2019. The performance is partly explained by the disruption of trade along the Rwanda – Uganda border,” says the report.

Imports

The value of merchandise imports increased by 2.7 percent to US$ 535.85 million in October 2019 from USD 521.55 million registered the previous month. The report attributes the increase majorly to non-oil private sector imports, as both the import volumes and prices increased.

The categories of merchandise imports that posted the largest increments were; chemical & related products; vegetable products, animal, beverages, fats & oil; textile & textile products; base metals & their products; and; plastics, rubber, & related products.

In comparison with October 2018, the import bill fell by 12.6 percent from USD 613.17 million to USD 535.85 million in October 2019. Both Government and private sector imports registered decreases.

In the month of October 2019, the biggest share of imports was sourced from Asia (44.4 percent), Middle East (15.4 percent) and EAC (15.2 percent). Of the imports from Asia, 75.4 percent were from India, China and Japan. In the EAC region, 98.2 percent of the imports were sourced from Kenya and Tanzania.

The report says Uganda traded at a deficit with all regions save for the EAC and the Rest of Africa. Uganda recorded the largest merchandise trade deficit with Asia, which however narrowed from US$228.68 million in October 2018 to US$ 219.81 million in October 2019.

In the month of October 2019, Uganda traded at a surplus of US$ 17.42 million with the EAC. This compares with a deficit of US$ 4.65 million registered a year ago, the report says.

Dfcu bank in crisis as UK’s CDC Group exits

Dfcu head office

Commonwealth Development Corporation (CDC) Group of the United Kingdom that own 9 per cent of the shares in Dfcu limited has announced that it will exit the company after accepting to sell its shares to an external investor, Eagle Online understands.

“Dfcu limited…advises its shareholders and the general public that a significant minority shareholder has received and accepted an expression of interest for the purchase of its shareholding in the Company by another,” Dfcu said in a recent cautionary announcement.

The company however, warns that if successfully concluded, the transaction may have material effect on the price of the company’s shares.

But the transaction, according to the announcement, remains subject to obtainment of regulatory approvals and satisfaction of all conditions precedent.

Due to expected sell of shares by the unnamed minority shareholder, the company has therefore advised shareholders and potential investors to be cautions when transacting in the company’s shares. “Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Company’s shares until a further announcement is made,” the announcement reads in part.

Eagle Online  last year last year reported that UK’s Commonwealth Development Corporation (CDC) Group was looking for another offshore company to buy its shares in Dfcu. The company owns 9.97 per cent. CDC’s Investment Director Irina Grigorenko wrote a confidential letter to Dfcu Chairman Elly Karuhanga of CDC Group’s intention to sell some or all of its shares.

Grigorenko, said then that CDC Group was “undertaking a review of its investment in DFCU Limited which may lead to the disposal or some of some or all of its shares in DFCU over the short to medium term.”

When asked, analysts said it is normal for shareholders to sell their shares within or get buyers from outside when they think it is the right time to exit. However, he hastened to add that some shareholders exit when they anticipate that the company’s business in future might not be profitable at the level they want it.

However, the latest announcement that a significant minority shareholder wants to exit Dfcu comes at the time when Dfcu is facing challenges following the controversial acquisition of Crane Bank Limited (CBL) in January 2017. Dfcu is the holding company of Dfcu Bank which bought CBL as offered to it by the Bank of Uganda (BoU).

Recently Dfcu bank realised that it could not take up freehold properties of Meera Investments Limited which had been leased to defunct CBL. Dfcu now wants BoU to compensate it for the loss of the properties it values at Shs47 billion even though it is understood it valued the same properties at Sh10 billion when it took over CBL an estimated Shs200 billion.

Women are better than men – Obama

Barack Obama

If women ran every country in the world there would be a general improvement in living standards and outcomes, former US President Barack Obama has said.

Speaking in Singapore, he said women aren’t perfect, but are “indisputably better” than men.

He said most of the problems in the world came from old people, mostly men, holding onto positions of power.

He also spoke about political polarisation and the use of social media to spread falsehoods.

Speaking at a private event on leadership, Mr Obama said while in office he had mused what a world run by women would look like.

“Now women, I just want you to know; you are not perfect, but what I can say pretty indisputably is that you’re better than us [men].

“I’m absolutely confident that for two years if every nation on earth was run by women, you would see a significant improvement across the board on just about everything… living standards and outcomes.”

When asked if he would ever consider going back into political leadership, he said he believed in leaders stepping aside when the time came.

“If you look at the world and look at the problems it’s usually old people, usually old men, not getting out of the way,” he said.

“It is important for political leaders to try and remind themselves that you are there to do a job, but you are not there for life, you are not there to prop up your own sense of self importance on your own power.”

Mr Obama served as US president from 2009 until 2017.

Since leaving the White House, he and former first lady Michelle Obama have set up a foundation mentoring young leaders around the world.

The pair were in Kuala Lumpur last week for an Obama Foundation event.

Imported for my body: Kenyan woman exposes sex traffic network in India

Commercial sex worker waiting for clients

BBC Africa Eye has uncovered a network that traffics women to India as sex workers for African men.  This investigation features the story of a Kenyan woman called Grace who goes undercover to expose the people involved in the sex trade. She is one of the many young women who are trafficked from Africa to India. Grace responded to an advertisement for dancers and hostesses in a WhatsApp group.

When Grace arrived in New Delhi she was taken to a brothel where she realised that her dream was about to turn into a nightmare. Her passport was confiscated and in order to regain her freedom, she was asked to pay off a grossly inflated fee for the facilitation of her travel to India. This happens to many women like Grace- these debts can range from $3700 to $5800.

Women are forced to have sex with strangers to pay off their debt  before they are freed.  Even when they repay their so called ‘debt’  many  find themselves trapped:  living illegally in India, many have no choice but to continue to work in the sex industry.

Every night, gatherings are held across New Delhi.  Scores of women parade themselves in front of men, who mingle and chat while being served drinks and African food in underground bars.  The women are from East and West Africa. The men are African and can choose the women they like and take them to their homes, an alley, or a brothel, to have sex.   These meeting places – are illegal clubs known as “kitchens”.

In this web of corruption and deceit, most trafficked women are still trapped after they have made the payments demanded of them. Their visas have expired and they end up as illegal immigrants.  Many of the trafficked women either become a Madam forcing women in to sex work or continue to be a sex worker themselves

Grace takes us to the place she spent six months paying her ‘debt’ exposing the people that brought her over to India.  Caught up in a vicious cycle of alcohol and sex, she is left wondering if there will be an end to her nightmare. “I don’t want anybody else to go through what I had to endure. I want this to stop, she says.”

We are proud to be part of this growth and to support the economy with more than 80 new jobs and the generation of additional international visitors that Best Western Plus Westlands will bring,” said Haddad.

The hotel’s owner, Amit Lukka, commented: “We are thrilled to find a partner in Aleph Hospitality that supports both our vision for Nairobi’s hospitality sector and our country’s wider efforts to market Kenya as a destination of choice.

“Aleph Hospitality is a trusted and accomplished partner that will manage the hotel on our behalf, driving maximum return on our investment as well as delivering a superior guest experience in collaboration with the prestigious global chain, Best Western. The opening on 14 December was highly anticipated by our colleagues, guests, neighbouring businesses and local dignitaries,” added Lukka.

Best Western Plus Westlands is located in the heart of Nairobi’s social and entertainment hub, the vibrant Westlands district, home to shops, restaurants and numerous corporate headquarters, making it a popular destination for Kenyans, expatriates and visitors.

Nairobi’s top attractions including the neighbouring Sarit Expo Centre, Nairobi National Park, David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and the Kenyatta International Conference Centre are also within close reach, making the hotel ideally positioned for both business and leisure travel.

The new, purpose-built hotel features 101 stylish, air-conditioned guest rooms, including spacious Junior Suites with separate living rooms and kitchenettes and a luxurious Penthouse Suite with a private outdoor hot tub.

Best Western Plus Westlands offers free WiFi, a dedicated meetings floor, a gym and two food and beverage outlets – Craft, an all-day-dining restaurant, bar and coffee shop, and Asiatic, a stylish rooftop bar and lounge.

Suzi Yoder, Senior Vice President, International Operations, BWH Hotel Group, said: “We are truly delighted with the addition of the Best Western Plus Westlands, a beautiful new build hotel created with our guests’ needs in mind. The central location is superb for both our corporate clients and leisure travellers and we are proud to now welcome our first guests.”

Aleph Hospitality, which has earmarked a pipeline of 35 hotels in the Middle East and Africa by 2025, manages hotels directly for owners, either on a franchise basis for branded properties or as a white label operator for independently-branded hotels.

The company operates four hotels in Africa, with six new openings already slated for 2020.
