2008 Gatekeeper Trip: Ugandan President on the Environment

Twice a year the International Reporting Project (IRP) awards up to 12 U.S. "gatekeeper" editors fellowships to travel as a group on an intensive fact-finding visit to a single important but somewhat under covered country in the news.

In May 2008 12 senior U.S. editors and producers traveled to Uganda for a 10-day International Reporting Project (IRP) Gatekeeper Editors trip. They were accompanied by Ben de la Cruz of Washingtonpost.com, who shot video during the trip.

The editors met with Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni for a two and a half hour interview on a wide range of topics, including HIV/AIDS, population, agricultural development and economic growth. In the following excerpt Museveni answers a question about the environment.

Funny that mr museveni is taking about greed. I live in the same town that museveni used to live in and ive seen where he used to stay with his family before heading for bush war. He lived in the poorest part/area of gothenburg, sweden. Now after 23 years as head of state of uganda this man have an estimated wealth reaching $1 700 000 000 (he is richer than Oprah Winfrey). Many ugandans thinks that that can even be an understatement.
