He argued that Uganda will need the spirit of patriotism if it is to develop, saying only Ugandans will transform Uganda not foreigners.

“Only Ugandans will transform this country, foreigners will not, unless a country is patriotic, it cannot develop,” Mwenda said.

Mwenda made the remarks during the launch of the Uganda Patriotism Club at the Serena Conference center in Kampala under the theme: “Harnessing Patriotism for Development”

Mwenda who represented the chief guest, Gen Salim Saleh, said that Uganda needs to add value to its products and Ugandans must own their economy.

“Development is the long term process of growth, no country can develop unless its economy is growing and no country can sustain economic growth unless it undergoes technological change,” He said.

The Acting Deputy Director, Chief Political Commiserate, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Hillary Kulaigye, noted that a country will develop if the citizens are patriotic.

“If those in the informal sector and those in the formal sector were patriotic, and doing the right thing, this country would be far in terms of development. Look at the money we lose in corruption, if you are patriotic, do you think you can steal government money,” Kulaigye asked.

Paul Taremwa, the acting chairperson of the Patriotism club, said as a group, they want to make Uganda a better place to live where young people achieve positions of power, exist and support all Ugandans.
