Aclaim urged to sell shares to Rwandans

State Minister for Industry and Investment Promotion has asked managers of Aclaim Africa, a management consultancy and training firm based in Uganda, to open a branch here. Minister Vincent Karega also asked Aclaim to sell some of its shares to Rwandans, saying the deal would increase the firm’s capital base and business returns as there are many Rwandans in need of their services. He suggested to the company to float shares on Rwanda Over the Counter (OTC) Market.

The move to integrate Rwanda in the East African Community Customs Union by 2010 is on track and in final stages.

State Minister for Industry and Investment Promotion has asked managers of Aclaim Africa, a management consultancy and training firm based in Uganda, to open a branch here.

Minister Vincent Karega also asked Aclaim to sell some of its shares to Rwandans, saying the deal would increase the firm’s capital base and business returns as there are many Rwandans in need of their services. He suggested to the company to float shares on Rwanda Over the Counter (OTC) Market.

"We are willing to facilitate and lay a red carpet for you,” he said.

Aclaim is the brain behind the African Management Forum (AMF), a forum where African Chief Executive Officers (CEOs), top management and other business leaders share experiences.

AMF members addressed the private sector at Serena Hotel on Wednesday. They were invited to the country by the Private Sector Foundation (PSF) Secretariat.
