There was a time in the 1970s and early 1980s when Uganda was a no go area even for the most foolhardy and adventurous foreign travellers on account of its instability.

At the time, Uganda was known for churning out refugees washing up on different shores, escaping the turbulence at home.

With the guns finally falling silent in Northern Uganda following the defeat of Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Movement a decade ago, Uganda is now an island of peace in the volatile Great Lakes Region and itself home to close to 1.4m refugees.

On Sunday, President Yoweri Museveni chided a section of Ugandans who contend that his government "has done nothing" describing them as ingrates.

Museveni made the remarks at Kasangati during the launch of a book authored by Sheikh Sulaimani Lubega Ggugwa highlighting his (Museveni's) contribution to the Muslim community in Uganda.

The event at Kyadondo sub-county headquarters at Kasangati was graced by the luminaries of the Muslim community in Uganda and a number of cabinet ministers.

In his address to mostly youthful Ugandans, Museveni discussed a number of issues ranging from unemployment, governance and different facets of human rights in the country.

"For those below 40 years, it is understandable because they don't know where we got this country from. For those above 50 years, its inconceivable," Museveni said.

Museveni drew parallels between his implacable detractors to the nine lepers in the Bible that Jesus healed but chose not to look for him and thank him.

Despite the obvious achievements that Uganda has registered under his stewardship, Museveni's detractors contend that ills like nepotism, tribalism, corruption and waste of public resources at the expense of ailing sectors like health and education outweigh the aforesaid accomplishments.
