That is essentially the question that U.S. Embassy Kampala asked Ugandans earlier this morning as I was scrolling through social media news.
While some responses by Ugandans are sarcastic, others are honest. Below are a few responses verbatim (plus a link to the source question). --------------------- Katushabe Ivan DEMAGOGUERY mostly here......unfortunately!!!

They should put the interests of the country at the fore front but when u analyze the current leaders we have, they are just goons who put their personal interests first. They don't prioritize the country and its population. I at times wonder whether leadership comes from God as it's commonly said. God does not send a leader who is going to defraud the country of billions and billions, God does not send a leader who is going to kill the innocent civilians with no any kind of remorse. A God sent leader does not have to bother rigging elections. I think and highly believe that we have rulers and not leaders.
