Mwenda on Museveni

While President Museveni laments about the ineptitude prevalent amongst his fellow African 'leaders' (he's ruled for 20 years mind you):

Museveni has said Africa is lagging behind in development because the leaders lack wisdom....Mr Museveni said he has been "struggling" with his counterparts and other leaders to appreciate that Africans need to export processed materials in order to benefit from international trade.
"Exporting raw materials is the greatest curse of Africa. How can it be that the leaders in Africa do not know what to do? Everything is upside down," Mr Museveni lamented.

Andrew Mwenda focuses on Museveni's own glaring leadership shortcomings:
I do not have any personal differences with President Museveni. On the contrary, I like the person of Museveni and I used to have good relations with him. Remember that I am a product of a lot of President Museveni’s teachings.
In his early speeches, he castigated African rulers for flying in executive jets when their populations walked on bare feet. Now he flies his daughters to Germany in executive jets to deliver babies when 98 percent of Ugandans depend on firewood for energy. My job as a journalist is to remind him of his first address to the nation, and hold him to account for his actions.
I disagree with Museveni’s politics, with the way he runs the country. I believe that he has increasingly come to treat the nation’s Treasury as his personal bank account and its physical assets as his family estate. The evidence is overwhelming: he personally has been giving preferred businessmen public funds and other assets without going through the formal institutions of state.
