Burundi’s President Évariste Ndayishimiye has praised President Yoweri Museveni’s role in promoting regional peace and stability across the Great Lakes region, while Museveni used his inauguration speech to warn against corruption and call for wealth creation.
President Yoweri Museveni has used his inauguration address to push for industrialisation, value addition, and skills-based economic transformation, warning that Africa cannot achieve sustainable prosperity while exporting raw materials and importing finished products.
Beyond the political symbolism of another presidential swearing-in, Museveni’s “Kisanja No Sleep” message signals a strategic shift toward household-level economic participation, placing wealth creation, productivity, and regional market integration at the center of Uganda’s next development phase.
“The challenges include the governance of the city by presidential directives, where the KCCA continues to experience direct control and intervention by President Museveni over the capital city's governance in almost all sectors, including public transport, markets, SACCOs, allocation of public assets, land and drainage channels, and procurement processes, among others,” Lukwago said.
“As PPF, we are concerned with Museveni’s forthcoming swearing-in ceremony, which has caused roadblocks on Kampala roads after what he called an overwhelming victory in the recent elections. This is the time for the country to rise because his 5th term in power is going to be the worst for Ugandans,” Ssemuju said.
