{UAH} Uganda’s Election Results May Be Genuine, but the System is Dying | Chatham House
But the growth that Uganda needs to dampen its approaching demographic tidal wave – half of Uganda's rapidly growing population is under 15 – will demand huge private sector investment from businesses that are wary of sinking vast costs before the parameters of the post-Museveni political landscape are drawn.
Museveni is caught on the horns of a catch-22. Maintaining stability under the current dispensation will demand cash that may not be available in the absence of some sort of road map to the future, but developing an inclusive vision for Uganda's politics would necessitate a release of the personal control he has worked so hard to build.
His model has given the country 30 years of relative peace and some much-needed progress. But sustaining this in years to come will demand the kind of political openness and dynamism he has spent decades neutering.
