Finance Minister Matia Kasaijja is a businessman with interest in livestock (specifically goats) farming. The Fronasa veteran, in his late 70s, is never ashamed of this side income of his besides the millions he monthly reaps from being remunerated as MP/Minister (whichever fetches him more). Mulengera news website has reliably established from sources close to his family that Kasaijja, whose other brother is a well remunerated Commissioner at Uganda Land Commission, has some other business that he rarely goes public about and it has a lot to do with China.
For starters, the Chinese like crashing pork ribs every evening after work. They are rarely Muslims to whom it’s abominable to eat pork. Many of the more than 20,000 well earning Chinese currently living and working in Uganda are Christians by religion and have no hesitation eating pork. So being the very strategic economist he is, the former secondary school teacher Matia Kasaijja is secretively a very successful piggery farmer with capacity to slaughter and supply so many animals to the Chinese eateries in Uganda. “By the way my periodic harvest is too big; it can’t be wholly consumed locally. I export some of it still to China using the contacts among my Chinese friends,” Kasaijja was recently overheard bragging to a friend, a fellow politician, whom he implored to beginning rearing pigs which he insisted is one of the most lucrative businesses he has even gone into. The friend asked him “but Matia you are always busy with ministry work, when do you ever get time for your piggery business?” In response, Kasaijja the ex-economics teacher said “my son is in charge and is doing a good job; I only come in for supervision and deal-making as I leave the implementation to him.”
