FOREWORD
Opinion polls are a critical force in shaping and transforming society in any functioning democracy.
When, properly conducted, they give the general public an opportunity for their voices and opinions
to be heard and considered during the decision making processes. The science of public surveying
also ensures acquisition of an independent public voice to inform various stakeholders on the ever
changing needs of society.
In the recent past, Ugandas polity has been sharply evolving with notable changes in the macro
economy, social demands and governance. These emerging dynamics follow a hotly contested
election that saw President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni declared winner amidst controversy. While the
election registered an increased voter turn up, it was characterized by cases of violence and greater
involvement of the security outfits. This indubitably precipitated an inadvertent change in citizens
perceptions and relationship with government.
This new term of office started with a number of pronouncements and actions that illuminated brighter
fortunes to some Ugandans. Beyond these pronouncements however, the question is whether at the
heart of these developments and actions, the citizen was central?
As part of the Citizens Manifesto process that is coordinated by the Uganda Governance Monitoring
Platform (UGMP), Civil Society Organizations in Uganda have time and again conducted systematic
monitoring of governance trends in Uganda. The monitoring takes the form of audits of government
and key institutions of democracy. Public perception surveys and/or opinion polls have been gradually
used as a key tool in this monitoring.
As part of this monitoring, UGMP, working jointly with Research World International, and with support
from the Democratic Governance Facility (DGF) commissioned an opinion poll to acquire a better
understanding of the social economic, political and cultural issues in Uganda. This poll report presents
a deeper prognosis of citizens views on Ugandas governance which will be pivotal to shaping the
social and economic policies in the country.
It is important to underscore that a similar poll was conducted and launched just before the February
2016 general elections; the idea then was to check on preparedness of the citizenry for the 2016
general elections as well as acquire an understanding of the choices that Ugandans were thinking of
in terms of voting. This second poll examines the extent to which Ugandans participated in the last
election, their impressions of the process and outcome, the aftermath of the elections, in terms of the
economic situation and their own welfare, as well as confidence in key public institutions.
Through this research, the public, politicians, policy makers, the media and other interested groups
will have access to an accurate measure of the current public attitudes and information which can
be pivotal to shaping their policies and programs. It is thus hoped that this report will provide an
infallible cornerstone to Ugandas political system, analysts and policy makers to keep up with a
rapidly changing social demographics and the highly fluid demands of the Ugandan society.

Introduction
Between September and October 2016, Research World International
(RWI) conducted a SPEC omnibus survey across, Uganda, with a sample

of 2,252 respondents. This was part of a long standing partnership that
Research World International has with Uganda National NGO Forum on
behalf of the Uganda Governance Monitoring Platform (UGMP).
The main objective was to provide a picture of Citizens perceptions on the
state of governance in Uganda, in the post election epoch. The findings

would also be used to trigger public discussion on the state of governance
in Uganda
The scope covered includes social, political, economic and cultural issues
in Uganda.
The field work for this survey was conducted in October 2016 in 60
districts of Uganda.
This was a household survey.

39% of the respondents said Ugandans
are not very free to hold peaceful demonstrations
over issues that affect them., while only 2% felt completetly free to do so. This could be
attributed to the enactment of stringent laws such as the Public Order Management Act,
and their subsequent mis-application. The government of Uganda needs to be compelled
to allow Ugandans to freely hold peaceful demonstrations over issues that affect them.
44% of the respondents think that the current size of parliament is unnecessarily big while
31% think that it increases tax burdens to the tax payer. This comes as a reinforcement of
the public call for the need to review the size of parliament.
While 88% of the respondents confirmed knowledge of their area Member of Parliament,
72% indicated that they had never been consulted by their area member of parliament
on any issue since swearing in. This presents a serious concern on whether Parliamentary
decisions are made with the knowledge and input of Ugandans, and in effect on behalf of
the citizens.
Majority respondents think that the four main issues in Uganda that the parliament should
focus on today are job creation, fighting corruption, lobbying government to increase health
care budget to 15% and checking government expenditure.

54% of the respondents suggested that there is need to introduce electoral reforms in order
to improve the election process, while 22% felt that the solution was in having putting in
place a free and fair electoral body. Only 1% suggested an improvement in the security
system, an indication that the involvement of security agencies in Ugandas elections may
require a serious review.
68% of the respondents said that the constitution should be amended to restore term limits
or number of years the president should rule and 44% of the respondents think that the
president should rule for 10 years and retire, and 34% think that he or she should rule for
only 5 years.
73% of the respondents think that the constitution should not be amended to allow a
person to contest for President even after attaining 75 years of age, while another 74%
think that President Museveni should not contest again after this term of office since he will
have made 75 years.
Most respondents (51%) said that the Police is not independent and professional in doing
its work, while another 48% felt that the Police serves their interests, despite the fact that
54% ranked the Police as the most corrupt institution in the country.
