Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Former presidential candidate Maj Gen (Rtd) Mugisha Muntu has encouraged youth to stop blaming the government for their perceived marginalization and instead charge of shaping Uganda\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

Leader of the opposition Alliance for National Transformation (ANT) party, Maj Gen Muntu observed that the youth who comprise over 70 per cent of Uganda\u2019s more than 45 million population should actively participate in improving Uganda.<\/p>\n

\u201cYouth are operating in an environment of unfairness and injustices. As youth, you need to participate in causing a shift from the current to where you desire the country to be,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou need to identify the problems and look for solutions and go ahead and participate in executing those solutions in any field you are in whether it is politics,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Maj Gen Muntu warned that Ugandan youth are likely to become dependent in the future if they continue to neglect their responsibilities and look abroad for opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe still have a struggle around that because the population is not yet able to determine who should manage the state affairs, you must ensure that conflict is also solved,\u201d he told a gathering in Fort Portal City during the “Awakening the Lion of Tooro” youth conference organized by the United for Development and Research Organization in collaboration with the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the former bush war fighter acknowledged that some youth may be constrained by a mental barrier that prevents them from realizing their potential but advised such people to recognize their capabilities and not underestimate their influence.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you don’t understand your capabilities, you will be like a crested crane that stays in the bush not knowing its capability. You need to understand the capability within you in terms of numbers and age,\u201d he highlighted on Firday.<\/p>\n

Concluding his remarks, he advised the youth to break free from the culture of complaining to the government all the time and instead focus on finding and implementing solutions to the challenges they face.<\/p>\n
