"Museveni has made a remarkable change in our country and most notably, real peace and stability,"
"That [stability] is really one of the areas the president has evidently invested in. It has triggered all the developmental changes that you see in the country, because without peace and stability, you can't do the roads, you can't do the electricity,"
"We have seen diversification of the agriculture sector. We've seen other crops coming on board, no longer coffee only. Coffee itself has become commercial, and there's been a lot of investment,"
Yoweri Museveni has governed Uganda since 1986 and remains a dominant political figure as he prepares to run again for president. Supporters credit Museveni with bringing peace, stability and infrastructure that enabled economic development and investment. Critics point to democratic backsliding, human rights violations and entrenched corruption during his long tenure. Uganda's economy has seen mixed growth with agriculture still central, marked by diversification and commercialization of coffee and increased investment. Emerging oil prospects are shaping economic expectations and potential future shifts in national development and revenue dynamics.
