In February 1981, shortly after the Obote two government took office, with Paulo Muwanga as vice president and minister of defense, a former Military Commission member, Yoweri Museveni, and his armed supporters declared themselves the National Resistance Army (NRA). Museveni vowed to overthrow Obote by means of a popular rebellion, and what became known as "the war in the bush" began. Several other underground groups also emerged to attempt to sabotage the new regime, but they were eventually crushed.
Museveni, who had guerrilla war experience with the Front for the Liberation of Mozambique (Frente de Libertaçâo de Moçambique--Frelimo), campaigned in rural areas hostile to Obote’s government, especially central and western Buganda and the western regions of Ankole and Bunyoro.

The Federal Act will form the framework and infrastructure for implementation of cetral government programmes in Uganda, especially at the Federal State level. The act will be anchored on principles of Devolution of Power, Subsidiarity, Popular and Inclusive Participation, Partnership, Non-subordination and Vertical and Down-ward Accountability; all of which are essential ingredients of Federalism in Uganda. Federalism will also be anchored in Uganda’s legal framework and be recognized by development partners as the primary vehicle for promoting democracy, enhancing service provision and prosperity for all. Implementation of this act will be a major pre-occupation by the Central Government of Uganda.

This paper presents some of the evidence that underlies the recent change in perceptions on Uganda's development and I discuss some of the key challenges facing the country going forward. It intends to generate a debate on natural resource management in Uganda, and make the paper a common point of reference for the Organization's analysis of the challenges and opportunities facing other East African States as well.
Uganda in early stages of development would require investment in projects with high social returns. Uganda to the middle income stages of development has to diversify her investment into infrastructure to improve the economic productivity, enhancement to the social protection schemes and a relatively small share for a “future generations” fund.

A Unipolar World Is ‘Ruinous’ for All
Today we can see the virtually unrestrained, overblown use of force in international affairs—of military force, force that is plunging the world into an abyss of conflicts, following one after another. As a result, there is not sufficient strength to achieve a comprehensive settlement of any one of these conflicts. And it is becoming impossible to settle them politically. We see greater and greater disdain for the fundamental principles of international law. More than that: certain practices, or, essentially, virtually the entire system of law of one country, above all, of course, of the United States, has overstepped its national borders in all areas: the economy, politics, and cultural and educational affairs, and it is being imposed on other countries. Well, who is happy about that?
NATO Expansion and Russia’s Security
With respect to democracy and NATO expansion, NATO is not a universal organization, unlike the UN. It is, first and foremost, a military and political alliance, military and political! Well, ensuring one’s own security is the right of any sovereign state. We are not arguing against this. Of course we are not objecting to this. But why is it necessary to put military infrastructure on our borders during this expansion? Can someone answer this question? Unless the expansion of military infrastructure is connected with fighting against today’s global threats? Let’s put it this way, what is the most important of these threats for us today—the most important for Russia, for the U.S.A. and for Europe—it is terrorism and the fight against it. Does one need Russia to fight against terrorism? Of course! Does one need India to fight against terrorism! Of course! But we are not members of NATO, and other countries aren’t, either. But we can only work on this issue effectively by joining our forces. As such, expanding infrastructure, especially military infrastructure, to our borders is not connected in any way with the democratic choices of individual states. And I would ask that we not mix these two concepts.

In November 1953, the Protectorate Government of Uganda withdrew recognition of Mutesa II as native head of the Kingdom of Buganda. This status had been held by the Kabaka under the Buganda Agreement of 1900, following the establishment of a British Protectorate in 1894. The Agreement also provided for the withdrawal of recognition, as occurred in 1953, should the Kabaka no longer remain faithful to the protecting authority. Following the withdrawal of recognition of the Kabaka, he was deported to Britain. The court case, heard in 1954, tested various constitutional questions arising from this and subsequent actions and found in favour of the Protectorate Government. Because of the constitutional difficulties arising at this time, the Protectorate Government set up a Conference to consider the situation further. This took place in 1954 also, and was headed by Sir Keith Hancock (then Director of the Institute of Commonwealth Studies in London). The Conference made various recommendations regarding the future Constitution of Buganda. The implementation of the agreed recommendations of the Conference, and the outcome of the court case, ultimately led to the return of Mutesa II .. two years later as a Constitutional monarch.

On the night of 23rd May, 1966, it was declared that all persons in uniform not authorised to do so, should be arrested. On 24th May, 1966, the Ugandan army led by Col. Idi Amin attacked the Kabaka’s palace at Mengo. After the battle, the Kabaka fled into UK passing through Burundi. The crisis was finally brought to an end by the invasion of the palace and the abolition of kingdoms. It was also brought to a halt by the passing of the Pensions Act which provided for the payment of pensions of all former traditional rulers with the exception of Kabaka Muteesa II and provisions were made for the education of their children.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE INSPECTORATE OF GOVERNMENT (IGG)
Despite the creation of these public institutions to combat corruption in Uganda, the IGG is empowered as an independent anti-corruption agency with more powers of enforcing and preventing corrupt practices. In addition, the Leadership Code which prohibits certain forms of conducts and requires leaders to declare their assets, income and liabilities was enacted and after the passing of the constitution in 1995. However corruption has become a major development issue not only for Uganda but the World at large. The Inspectorate of Government was constitutionally charged with the responsibility of enforcing it (Constitution of the Republic of Uganda, 1995). This study seeks to answer core question by assessing the performance of the IG on its mandated function and also key could have either improved its effective enforcement measures or deterred the institution to effectively enforce the given mandates in its efforts of fighting public sector corruption in Uganda.

It’s a bottom-up approach to budgeting, aimed at moving national development planning to the grassroots. Article 176 of Uganda’s constitution provides for decentralisation “to ensure people’s participation and democratic control in decision making”. Uganda’s Local Government Act recognises two types of administrative units at sub-county level: parishes and villages. Uganda has a total of 10,694 parishes, each with a population size ranging from 450 to 30,000 people.
Under the parish development model, the government has recently set up structures and frameworks for planning, budgeting and delivery of public services. People at the parish level are to decide development priorities under the policies formulated at the national level.
The assumption is that by getting citizens at the lowest administrative levels to identify and assign resources for their own social needs, development can tilt in favour of the poor. The overall aim, according to the plan, is to deepen the decentralisation process, improve household incomes, and increase accountability at local levels.

First, the utilization of imagined or real differences between the United States and Europe as a foreign policy principle was abandoned. This principle had been a basic feature of Soviet foreign policy (“utilization of contradictions between the power centers of imperialism”) and, in essence, had been continued by Yeltsin after he had turned his back on Kozyrev’s Atlanticist approach. Russia’s “medium-term strategy” for the development of relations with the EU, a document that was handed by Putin in his then capacity as prime minister to the EU-“Troika“ in Helsinki in October 1999, still contained the traditional approach. Russia, it is stated there, welcomed the European Security and Defense Policy (ESDP) so as to limit “the United States and NATO and their dominance on the continent” and “to counterbalance NATO-centrism in Europe.”16 But even before the terrorist attacks on the United States of September 11, 2001, president Putin signaled a desire to improve Russian-American relations. The attacks gave him the opportunity to do so and in that context to abandon the policy of attempting to drive wedges between the United States and Europe inside and outside NATO.
In September 1995, NATO had conducted air strikes against Bosnian-Serb positions after the mortar shell explosions in the Sarajevo market the preceding month. Reinforcing the currents of pro-Serb, pan-Slav, and pan-orthodox agitation in Russia, Yeltsin went as far as accusing NATO of conducting a campaign of “genocide against the Serbs” and “conjuring up the flames of a new world war in Europe.”15 The diatribes, however, did not prevent Russia from endorsing the Dayton peace accords. Starting from 1996, it even actively helped in their implementation by participating in the NATO-led Implementateion (IFOR) and Stabilization Force (SFOR) in Bosnia and Herzegovina and from 1999 in the Kosovo Force (KFOR). Russian peacekeepers deployed to Bosnia and Herzegovina constituted the largest non-NATO contingent, and according to NATO as well as independent reports, served well alongside the allied counterparts

Uganda’s population grew from 6.5million in 1959 to 24.4million in 2002, and is currently 28.5 million at a growth rate of 3.9, 3.3 and 3.4 respectively. It is further projected to reach 54.8million by 2025 and 130 million by 2050 (UN 2002). The population of Uganda will continue to grow at a very high rate because of the already created momentum. The population density will also continue to increase. However, it is also projected that the total fertility rate will decline to 2.9 children per woman between 2045 and 2050; dependence ratios will also decline, while the proportion of the labour force (15-64) will increase, a fertility transition referred to as a demographic dividend, a bonus or a gift.

The Vision 2040 is conceptualized around strengthening the fundamentals of the economy to harness the abundant opportunities around the country. The identified opportunities include: oils and gas, tourism, minerals, ICT business, abundant labor force, geographical location and trade, water resources, industrialization, and agriculture among others that are to date considerably under-exploited. Achieving the transformational goal will thus depend on the country’s capacity to strengthen the fundamentals including: infrastructure(energy, transport, water, oil and gas, and ICT); Science, Technology, Engineering and Innovation (STEI); land use and management; urbanization; human resource; and peace, security and de-fence.

These key outcome indicators include Infant Mortality Rate (IMR), Under-five Mortality Rate (U5 MR), Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR), Total Fertility Rate (TFR), and chronic malnutrition (see Table 1). However these improvements fell short of the PEAP and Millennium Development Goal (MDG) targets of 354 and 60 for reducing MMR respectively (MFPED, 2004; UNDP (Uganda), 2007).

Such violence was accompanied by the arrest and detention of lawyers working for opposition candidates. Two days before the election, the military fanned out throughout Uganda’s towns and cities, giving rise to an atmosphere of terror and coercion that compelled many, perhaps most, voters to stay home. Extensive evidence of election tampering, pre-marking of ballots for General Museveni, ballot-stuffing, coercion of voters by the military, shutdown of all communications prior to the election, arrest of campaign staff and candidates, the lack of voter privacy, illegal casting of votes before voters arrived at polling stations, reports of 100%, 99% and 98% vote for Museveni at large numbers of polling sites, entire districts reporting 100% vote for Museveni.
It can easily be proven that Yoweri Museveni could not have won the elections with the percentages of 58.38% versus 35.08% for Robert Kyagulanyi because the results announced by Electoral Commission include 409 polling stations with a 100% voter turnout

People Power Uganda Manifesto (Bobi Wine)
A vote for the National Unity Platform is a vote for:
* People-Centred Governance.
* Equal Access to Quality Education and Health Services.
* Inclusive Economic Development.
* Land, Natural Resources & Environmental Protection.
* National Security and International Relations.
Intensive Economic Development.
The National Unity Platform seeks to approach economic development by focusing on inclusiveness and integration with the ultimate aim of improving the well-being of citizens and sharing wealth equitably.
While the size of economy has doubled from Shs. 64 trillion in 2010/11 to Shs 128 trillion in 2018/19 poverty has risen by two points since 2018 and now twenty-one percent of the population are poor.
Regional inequality is stark, with poverty ranging from 6 percent to 60 percent.
Exports grew in the last ten years (from $3.83 billion to $ 5.3 billion in 2018). The area of tarmacked roads doubled. But in the same period, undernourishment shot up by 9.2 percentage points.
There must be a determined approach that deals with consistent bottlenecks including limited finances; inadequate infrastructure (particularly low energy for production and bad feeder roads); inadequate skills commensurate with manufacturing needs; unfair competition from low cost producer countries of poor-quality products.

The Vision 2040 is conceptualized around strengthening the fundamentals of the economy to harness the abundant opportunities around the country. The identified opportunities include: oils and gas, tourism, minerals, ICT business, abundant labor force, geographical location and trade, water resources, industrialization, and agriculture among others that are to date considerably under-exploited. Achieving the transformational goal will thus depend on the country’s capacity to strengthen the fundamentals including: infrastructure(energy, transport, water, oil and gas, and ICT); Science, Technology, Engineering and Innovation (STEI); land use and management; urbanization; human resource; and peace, security and de-fence. Projections indicate that Uganda will graduate into a lower middle income country by 2017,
