It now appears that Uganda’s president Museveni and a few of his richest top government officials have lost touch with the reality, the biting poverty which Baganda and the rest of the Uganda population are suffering. Over the last two weeks Mr. Museveni and his Central Bank governor, Tumusiime Mutebire arrogantly bragged about how well Uganda is doing economically. They made these statements even as the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBS) and Museveni’s ministry of Disaster Preparedness issued official reports which pointed to a miserable economic and social situation. The UBS supplies statistical data to Bank of Uganda.
