Kampala, Uganda – Media entrepreneur Nyanzi Martin Luther has reignited debate on Uganda’s future after contrasting the country’s stalled development with Singapore’s extraordinary rise. He noted that Uganda, once thought to have a brighter outlook due to its natural wealth, is still struggling to meet basic needs while Singapore has become a global economic model. Uganda Once Had the Edge, but Singapore Mastered the Race.

“Singapore had far fewer resources and deeper social divisions when it became independent. Yet today it is an economic giant, while Uganda is still tied down by weak governance, corruption, and aid dependency,” Nyanzi told participants at a youth economic forum in Kampala.

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has announced plans to set up a Graduate Start-up Fund that will support university graduates who remain jobless for two years after completing their studies.

The fund, he said, will give young people access to loans so they can start businesses instead of waiting endlessly for scarce formal jobs.

“I had earlier brought an idea that a university graduate who has left university and has not got a job for two years should go to a certain fund where he or she can borrow and start a business,” Museveni told thousands of supporters at Kololo Independence Grounds, shortly after being nominated by the Electoral Commission to run in the next elections.
