The investment follows a decision that has since been taken by some African Americans to withdraw their savings from financial institutions owned by whites to those owned by blacks as a form of protest against racial discrimination.
African Americans continue to face racial discrimination due to their colour which has seen many face injustice at the hands of whites authorities. Last year, Afro Americans across USA took to the streets protesting the increased racial discrimination following the gruesome murder of the late George Floyd, an African American who was killed by a caucasian police officer in May 2020.
Kigozi then launched a campaign encouraging Afro Americans to consider coming to Uganda to consider settlement as well as taking up different investments. This call has since attracted support from President Yoweri Museveni.
