Ofcourse there are thousands of Ugandans more qualified “technically” for this job. The issue is multinationals prefer one of their own most of the time to act as CEO, which is being seen across all sectors…however Arabs are not like indians who bring even receptionists from India…i guess emirates is employing a good number of Ugandans in key strategic positions.
