Someone who already had money to lose.This episode will change how you see that.We sat down with Isaac Kayemba, a financial analyst and revenue expert at the Uganda Securities Exchange, and what he shared will make you genuinely angry that no one taught you this sooner.Did you know you can start investing in Uganda with 12,000 shillings?

Did you know there is 26 trillion shillings of Ugandan domestic capital already working in this economy, and you could be part of that?This is not theory neither is it motivation.
