In his inauguration address, President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni
said Uganda had transitioned from a country of deficits to an economy of
surpluses in agricultural production and manufacturing during his tenure.
“In 1986, Uganda was a land of shortages, no sugar, no soap,
no paraffin, no textile, no salt, no sodas, no beer, no petrol etc. With
limited waking up of sections of the population, Uganda now is a country of
surpluses,” Museveni said.
The Ugandan head of state criticized the foreign powers whom
he claimed have been lecturing African countries on good governance saying some
of them don’t mean well for the continent.
“It is quite comical to hear some people giving us lectures
about democracy. Giving us a lecture about democracy, what are your
credentials? If you want to know what we are doing in a respectful way we shall
show you, but no lectures,” President Museveni stated.
