80% of our economy is a "boda boda" economy which means we live in a hands to mouth economy. People leave their homes when they actually don't know whether they will earn something,' Mawejje, 30 said.
Describing his as a "boda boda" manifesto, he said the current setup of the country can only be referred to as a boda boda economy that he said pretends to grow steadily but 'gets stuck somewhere because everyone is in debts.'
'People are desperate to an extent of thinking that if they spend hours in betting clubs maybe God will do miracles. Government has reduced its valued tax payers to beggars where everyone thinks in someone's pocket,' Mawejje said.
He decried that youths who are vital in the development of any country are flying out for greener pasture leaving a generation that is not productive, and those who stay behind spend most of their times in discussing the 'Premier League'
'We don't have medicines in hospitals, police and military officers sleep in dilapidated units, roads are in a poor state and civil servants are paid pea nuts, not because Uganda is poor but because there are those who think they can eat anything that exists,' he observed.
Mawejje said he aims to introduce a seven-point program that he said will liberate the country.
'I want to tackle unemployment among youths, improve the health and education sectors, reduce the number of districts, constituencies, ministries, departments and agencies, put in place constitutional reforms to give voting rights to diaspora and prisoners and also clip the president's powers,' he said.
