Speaking to KFM, the executive director Centre for Constitutional Governance, Sarah Bireete says the president needs to urgently clean up the image of Uganda by putting to order the security agencies that are on the spot for violating human rights.
For the shrinking economy, Bireete advises the President to, crack the whip on corruption and reduce borrowing and unnecessary spending.
She is also asking the president to come up with a clear strategic plan for the surging youth unemployment and a solution to the unfair taxes.
“The UBOS demographics show that only 1.6% of Uganda’s population is aged 70 years and above, we need to have a strategic plan to address unemployment and having expanded revenue with increased household income which can absorb a youthful population,” said Ms Bireete.
