President Yoweri Museveni has firmly asserted that foreign influences pose no risk to Uganda’s sovereignty or its economic progression.
This strong declaration comes in response to sanctions imposed by the United Kingdom and the United States on Uganda’s Speaker of Parliament, Anita Among, and several ministers, including Goreti Kitutu, Agnes Nandutu, and Amos Lugolobi.
The sanctions were imposed following the enactment of the Anti-Homosexuality Act in May 2023 which really upset Western countries,
A move that has faced considerable criticism from international donors.
Delivering his State of the Nation Address (SONA) yesterday,
Museveni emphasized the resilience and forward momentum of Uganda’s economy and society, dismissing any notion of foreign intimidation.
“Uganda’s economy and society are moving forward, the mistakes by some actors notwithstanding.
The foreigners interfering in our internal affairs are not a threat at all. No foreigner can threaten us…nobody can threaten us,” Museveni declared.
The President also urged the East African Community (EAC) to strive for greater unity by fully implementing the Common Market Protocol and Customs Union Protocols.
He urged the Members of Parliament to remain steadfast in their commitment to Uganda’s Vision, despite facing external criticisms and sanctions.
“We are aware that the call to leadership sometimes comes with the risk of being misunderstood, criticized, opposed, accused, sanctioned, or even rejected.
But we owe it to our society to stand firm,” Among stated, reinforcing the government’s determination to uphold Uganda’s sovereignty and pursue its developmental goals.
