First, and foremost, I want to wish you a splendid 2011 and a peaceful election period. The year 2010 was a great year for the Chamber, but also a sad one in which we lost one of our most hardworking and intelligent members, Gary Watkins. But we believe that all what Gary achieved – editing the first issue of this magazine being one of them – should not go to waste. Indeed, the Chamber has achieved a lot. Last March, the Uganda Chamber of Mines and Petroleum, and its website, were historically commissioned by two African presidents: President Yoweri Museveni and his guest South Africa’s Jacob Zuma.
