More quotes by 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.

The island is in Kenya, the water is in Uganda... But the [Luos, a Kenyan ethnic group] are mad, they want to fish here but this is Uganda.
Yoweri Museveni
We certainly would be happy for more help, but not at the price of condescension and arrogance. If the Europeans believe they can afford to be less committed in Somalia, please - we can deal with it ourselves.
Yoweri Museveni
You cannot, for instance, sustainably protect the environment if the majority of the people are still in primitive agriculture leading to the encroachment of forest reserves.
Yoweri Museveni
Some intelligence officers filed reports saying that this is a dangerous group, but at one level it was not forwarded, it was just ignored.

May the soul of the late President Milton Obote... a long-time member of this parliament, rest in peace.
Yoweri Museveni
I have made revenue collection a frontline institution because it is the one which can emancipate us from begging. If we can get about 22% of GDP we should not need to disturb anybody asking for aid instead of coming here to bother you, give me this, give me this, I shall come here to greet you, to trade with you.
Yoweri Museveni
Joseph Kony is hiding somewhere in the Central African Republic. He is no longer a threat. We have already punished him. We provide our own safety.
