‘No more sleep’: Museveni warns non-performing leaders
Uganda’s President and the leader of ruling National Resistance Movement party, Yoweri Museveni when he was sworn-in extending his decades-long rule at the Kololo grounds in Kampala, Uganda May 12, 2026.
President Yoweri Museveni has launched a scathing attack on what he described as complacent, self-serving and non-performing leaders, warning that his new term will be marked by tougher accountability measures and a renewed push to lift all Ugandans out of poverty.
In his State of the Nation Address delivered at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds on Thursday, Museveni repeatedly returned to one theme: leaders who have failed to mobilise their communities out of poverty must either up their game or step aside.
