"I Wish God would Reverse President M7's Age Back To Early 40's"- Says Kefa Mafumo As He Claims That M7 Is The Only Visionary President Uganda Has Ever Had

"President  Yoweri Kaguta Museveni is a visionary leader Uganda has ever had. He is an intelligent, inspiring, knowledgeable, and patriotic to his country"- Kefa Mafumo.

While proponents hail it as part of Musevenomics—a visionary leadership style promoting cross-border growth—others question its relevance amid Uganda’s pressing domestic challenges.

State House official, Kefa Mafumo, who has also shown interest to contest for Butiru Constituency Member of Parliament  position in 2026, gives us more light in a one-on-one.

Kefa says that President  M7's government is about fostering multilateral trade, boosting the country's economy, and solving the problems of Africa.

"As you are  aware, President Museveni declared, framing the initiative as a strategic move to strengthen regional ties. This has emerged to describe his leadership approach, which blends foresight, regional integration, and pragmatic development.''-Kefa.

Kefa Further says M7 is an elder statesman, a problem solver. But while the economic benefits may be real, the timing is questionable. "Uganda has local issues that need urgent attention"-Mafumo.

He notes that not everyone agrees with him on the above statement, though you should agree that  the president’s strategy as a deliberate and forward-thinking use of infrastructure diplomacy.

“By building roads instead of sending troops, Uganda gains influence without spilling blood. It’s economics, security, and diplomacy all in one,”-Kefa said

According to Kefa, he  believes these projects enhance Uganda’s standing in regional negotiations, particularly with nations like the DR Congo and CAR.

Just take an example, President  M7 is the founder of the Parish Development  Model, a poverty eradication program for the household level.

This program has benefited hundreds of households in just three years.

Recently, President M7 was in the Elgon region monitoring the progress and impact of pdm.

Kefa says that as a concerned  citizen, he was happy seeing President M7 visit Butiru, Makenya Village to be specific, while checking on the PDM beneficiaries. 

"I was happy receiving President M7 in my village was here to monitor and evaluate the PDM progress.

Kafa sees President  Museveni as rooted in pan-Africanism.

“Museveni’s ideological vision is grounded in Africa’s shared history and interconnectedness. There are more Acholi in South Sudan than in Uganda and more Bakonzo in DRC than here. He sees these connections as opportunities, not borders,” Mafumo.

However, critics maintain that Uganda’s domestic challenges—poverty, unemployment, and a strained healthcare system—should take precedence.

Kefa insists that even visionary plans require the right timing.

“Ugandans are struggling with basic needs. Before we cross borders, we must first fix home,” he says.

Mafumo counters this perspective, arguing that infrastructure projects can achieve what military interventions can not.

“Uganda spends billions deploying troops abroad. Why not channel those resources into infrastructure? Roads secure influence and open markets without the cost of war. The math works,” he asserts.

While Musevenomics supporters believe the benefits will materialize in the long run, turning Uganda into a regional hub, critics remain steadfast in their concern.

For them, the question isn’t whether the vision is bold but whether it aligns with the immediate needs of the people.

As the nation debates, Museveni’s cross-border ambitions remain a defining feature of his leadership, sparking both hope and controversy.
