Uganda virtually has no national identity cards (IDs). Only 400 Ugandans out of the population of 33 million people are privileged citizens holding Uganda national IDs.

The people holding national IDs are President Museveni, Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi, Maj. Gen. Kahinda Otafiire, Foreign Affairs Minister Sam Kutesa, Brig. Muhoozi and Gen. Salim Saleh among others.

No one will ever really ask president Museveni and his allies for identification. Museveni, Mbabazi and a few other government officials were the first recipients of the national IDs that cost a scandalous 185 billion shillings. We already told you that only a total of 400 Ugandans hold national IDs, this means that each ID cost Ugandan taxpayers 462.5 million shillings.
