Museveni and President Samia in Arusha
Arusha, UUganda | President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has said Africa must emphasize and support an indigenous entrepreneurial class, national capitalists who can help build economically develop countries.
Museveni was speaking shortly after a ceremony in which heads of state of the East African Community commissioned the 42.4-kilometer Arusha by-pass road, one of the major road projects to be successfully completed under EAC cooperation.
Arusha Bypass forms part of the 15,000km East African Road Network and the Trans African Highway from Cape Town to Cairo through Gaborone. The road starts at Ngaramtoni and crosses Dodoma Road at Kisongo. Museveni said there are many countries in the world with a lot of problems because of poor leadership but said they could learn from some countries that have had foresighted leaders like China.
“There are countries which have had a lot of problems in the world because of poor leadership. One country known as China was lucky to have very foresighted leaders especially Mao Tsetung and Deng Xiaoping. When we discuss here, I can see there is a need to utilize what some of the good leaders did,” Museveni said.
