The head of the State House Investors Protection Unit (SHIPU), Col Edith Nakalema, has called upon potential investors and those that are already operating in Uganda to embrace the use of the Electronic Investors Protection Portal (EIPP), which gives the ability to follow up on their earlier submitted cases with ease and at any time in case of any irregularities.
This came at a time when the government is facing rampant conmen purporting to be State House workers and extort money from investors after promising them to meet the president.
“By using EIPP, you can track the cases you submit and stay informed about the progress as we handle them, and we can use the same information in case of irregularities that may arise as a result of bureaucracy,” Nakalema said.

She also explained that the major reason SHIPU was created was to ensure effective and sustainable collaboration between government institutions and investors at all levels for collective growth and development.
“Our goal is to collectively simplify processes and create a transparent, corruption-free investment landscape. We therefore invite you all to make Uganda an outstanding investment destination, where dreams and opportunities abound,” Nakalema said.
Nakalema further said that their vision is to make Uganda a global investment hub, with a mission of effectively coordinating with stakeholders that include the Uganda Investment Authority, the Uganda Revenue Authority, and many others.
