has announced a groundbreaking partnership to advance blockchain-powered initiatives
aimed at fostering economic growth, increasing transparency,
and empowering communities through innovative technology solutions.

Oriyem Henry Akello, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, International Relations,
emphasized the government's unwavering commitment to supporting the LEMEN Group's LEMX, Transformative Tokenization Initiatives.
These efforts are expected to drive significant investment opportunities,
improve public services, and provide a robust framework for economic modernization.
The initial phase of this collaboration will focus on tokenizing housing projects to address
Uganda's housing challenges, ensuring quality and affordability for citizens. With over 60,000
army homes slated for tokenization, this first step towards full tokenization of the country
is estimated at around US$2 billion, representing a pivotal step toward democratizing ownership and
fostering financial inclusion. By enabling fractional ownership,
Ugandans will have unprecedented access to invest in real estate assets,
improving their financial independence. Building on this success, the initiative will expand to
other sectors, including traditional housing solutions for broader communities and military
personnel. The overarching goal is to enhance transparency in asset management and introduce
innovative financial models that empower the nation's citizens. Often referred to as the The overarching goal is to enhance transparency in asset management and introduce innovative

enhance service delivery, and strengthen its economic foundation.
I would like to personally acknowledge my long-standing relationship with Dr. Fahad Murebi,

Akello. This partnership reflects a shared vision of using innovation to benefit the people of

blockchain-powered asset management, aligning with its vision for a prosperous, digitally advanced
future. The government of Uganda expresses full support for the Lemon Group, LEMX, and its
initiatives and remains confident that this partnership will serve the best
