In an official statement made in response to the freezing of loans to Uganda by the World Bank, the President said he wanted “to inform everybody, starting with Ugandans, that Uganda will develop with or without loans.”

“With discipline, patriotism and combating corruption, we shall thrive because our agriculture is there, our industries are growing and our services sector is expanding. It is, therefore, unfortunate that the World Bank and other actors dare to want to coerce us into abandoning our faith, culture, principles and sovereignty, using money. They really under-estimate all Africans,” Museveni stated. 

The statement was first made public in a handwritten letter by the President, which he posted to X, formerly called Twitter. It was then published in an official press release Thursday, Aug. 10.
