Museveni made the statements during the commemoration of the International Labors day at State House Entebbe on Saturday.
At the same ceremony, Museveni launched the National Action Plan on the elimination of child labor in Uganda 2021-25.
While castigating the export of labor, Museveni said he is against the practice.
“For me I don’t believe in labor export. Countries that externalize labour are countries that have missed something. I have proof,” he said
“I have never seen South Koreans exporting labor. The only South Korean I have seen is Ban Ki Moon. Their country is half the size of Uganda but you don’t see them. I am now for the South Korean approach.”
As a solution, Museveni said the country has the capacity to employ its citizens up to the tune of 70million, if there is concentration on industry, ICT, services and commercial agriculture.
“We are going to create the jobs; the problem is the reluctance to take our advice which has worked. The jobs are there but they will only come in big numbers if we listen to NRM’s principle of social-economic transformation,” Museveni said.
The president made an estimation of 10 million homesteads in Uganda, saying at least 7million could be in rural areas with access to some land.
