More quotes by Yoweri Museveni

Yoweri Museveni
Our population is growing rapidly because of our good health policy. When I came into office, there were 14 million Ugandans, today there are 38 million, despite the catastrophe of AIDS, which we have also tackled. The Ugandans know and appreciate this, especially the elderly.
Yoweri Museveni
Refugee problems can only be solved in the region (of origin) - maybe with a little help from the UN. Governments must provide something for their countries. They need to deliver.
Yoweri Museveni
One of the emphases of the new democratic order is no impunity.
Yoweri Museveni

Yoweri Museveni
When we sell a kilo of bean coffee in Uganda, we get one dollar per kilo. The same kilo, when it is processed [and sold in Britain], goes for $10, $11 or even more a kilo. That is the same situation that goes for all raw materials.
Yoweri Museveni

Yoweri Museveni
Africa is wealthy in natural resources the problem is they are not optimally utilized.
