KAMPALA — The Chairman of Tirupati Group Ltd, Harshad Barot, has praised President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni for what he described as visionary and transformational leadership, crediting his long tenure for Uganda’s economic stability and private sector growth.
Barot, who attended the presidential swearing-in ceremony at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds on 12 May 2026 together with his wife, Poonam Barot, said Uganda’s investment climate has been strengthened by decades of peace, political stability, and pro-business policies under President Museveni’s leadership.
The event marked Museveni’s 7th term in office, attracting several international dignitaries and heads of state.
Speaking on the sidelines of the ceremony, Barot said stability remains the foundation of Uganda’s economic progress and business expansion.
“President Museveni’s leadership has created stability, and stability is the foundation upon which businesses grow, investments flourish, and families prosper,” he said.
He added that Uganda’s governance environment has enabled both local and foreign investors to build long-term enterprises with confidence.
“A strong economy is built on peace, infrastructure, and confidence in the future. President Museveni’s leadership has enabled entrepreneurs and investors to dream bigger and achieve more,” Barot noted.
Barot, whose company Tirupati Group Ltd operates in real estate and construction, highlighted Uganda’s expanding infrastructure sector as a key driver of private sector growth. The firm is involved in developing commercial malls, residential apartments, warehouses, business parks, and industrial facilities across the country.
He further emphasized the importance of cooperation between government and the private sector, describing it as central to Uganda’s economic transformation.
“The private sector in Uganda has flourished because we have a President who understands that a strong economy is built on strong businesses. President Museveni has always seen the private sector as a partner, not just a participant,” he said.
Barot concluded that Uganda’s sustained policy direction has created an enabling environment for investment, positioning the country as one of the more stable economies in the region.
