In efforts to publicise the policy of ‘Ugandanisation’ General Idi Amin published the following statement in an advertisment published in The Times,

“I wish to make it abundantly clear that my Government’s policy is to see to it that Ugandans participate fully in the industrial and commercial activities of the nation. To this end all companies will be required to submit a programme of Ugandanisation. Further, it is the view of my Government that all companies of reasonable size and profitability should convert themselves into public companies and thus give an opportunity to Ugandans to participate as shareholders.”
