President Yoweri Museveni’s 40-year tenure in Uganda marked by infrastructure challenges

Uganda has faced several challenges in infrastructure development during President Yoweri Museveni’s 40-year tenure. One of the major issues is the lack of proper roads and transportation facilities. Reports indicate that allocated funds for roadworks often vanish into a web of corruption, leading to subpar construction and an absence of accountability. This has resulted in poor connectivity and transportation facilities, especially in rural areas.

Another issue is the lack of electricity and poor infrastructure, which causes high costs of doing business. Many development partners are disinterested in building Africa’s infrastructure, especially electricity. As a consequence, only South Africa and Libya under Gaddafi had high electricity consumption.
