2008 IRP Gatekeeper Trip: Ugandan President on Economy

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 economic liberalization.

Mr President talks as if he tried to teach the small population he has at the moment about working. So he wants the so called "complacence" individuals to learn the hard way. (these are the same guys that vote him in)

If you fail to come up with policies to handle the population at the moment, how will it be when the population gets bigger.

Not to mention the landreforms that have been carried out in uganda, giving away land to the so called "foreign-investors" in his way of making these individuals (ugandans) learn it the hard way. Museveni must realy hate uganda when he is giving land to asians especially indians in he´s way of modernize the agriculture sector. Hmm there is starting to become to many aisans in uganda now-a-days.
