Museveni who will be seeking a 5th term has promised to lead Uganda and leap-frog from USDs 50bn to USDs 500bn through value addition, industrialization, and regional integration in the next 10 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing thousands of jubilating supporters at the NRM Electoral Commission Headquarters in Kampala, Museveni said ,\u201cMillions of Ugandans have been ordering me with the slogan\u00a0TovaKuMain<\/em>,\u201d Museveni said. \u201cI am responding to that call to complete the mission we started \u2014 lifting Uganda from a raw-material exporter to a high middle-income country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Museveni outlined six core focus areas that form the foundation of his next term\u2019s manifesto, among which include; maintaining peace and security, accelerating infrastructure development, wealth creation, expanding employment opportunities, improving social services like education and health, and unlocking regional markets through deeper East African integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told his audience that under his leadership, the NRM has grown Uganda’s economy from $3.9 billion in 1986 to $61 billion today, pushing Uganda out of Least Developed Country status. He advocated a more aggressive reforms -regime to realise a $500 billion economy in shortest time possible -far ahead of 2040 set target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have done recovery and diversification. But with maximum value addition to all our raw materials and knowledge-based industries, we can leap into the first world,\u201d Museveni said, citing examples like coffee, which earns Uganda only $2.5 per kilo as raw beans but could fetch $40 per kilo once roasted and packaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also warned the newly elected NRM structures against turning leadership into a career for personal gain. \u201cMy advice to you is to be wealth creators so you do not look at leadership as a job. If our generation had a jobist mentality, Uganda would never have been rescued,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPolitical leadership is about serving your people and defending their interests against corruption, fraud, criminality, and land evictions,\u201d he emphasised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
