History;
On January 26th 1986, Yoweri Museveni who had led a protracted people’s war had captured Kampala and overthrown the then fascist regime of the UNLA.
“The then tyrannical regimes that were in charge of our country had bred
Vices such as: tribalism and sectarianism ideologies. This created a legacy of bad politics, poor governance, disastrous social development philosophies and practices. It also led to an economic system that entrenched a vicious cycle of poverty and dependency” Mbayo added.
