“We want to put the Kenyan government on the spot; how do people come to visit Kenya and are returned back to the country forcefully without being deported or extradited?"
According to Sharon Oyat, the UPC party spokesperson, 84% of the manifesto implementation lacks transparency, as it appears to be unrealistic based on the continued manifestation of high rates of unemployment among the youth, poor infrastructure, a poor education system, and poor healthcare in the country.
The most efficient services come from specialized institutions whose knowledge and expertise take many decades to learn and achieve. It is unimaginable, for example, to make Mulago Hospital a department in the Ministry of Health or Makerere University a department in the Ministry of Education.

The highest corruption levels in Uganda need a collective effort to be fought, and definitely President Museveni cannot succeed when the other arms of government publicly show that they support it.
