She drew on Uganda's dependency ratio, currently at 84%. For every 100 Ugandans working, 84 are dependents. That weight sits on household savings, capital formation, and the stability of the very middle class that businesses are counting on for growth.

Chairperson of LEAD, Ms. Gertrude Karugaba, opened by grounding the conversation in what brought everyone to this room, the growing recognition that governance is not a commodity. It is a responsibility that carries real weight in the lives of real people.
#LEADConvention2026
She painted a picture of the environment boards are navigating today. Decisions made in the boardroom are being overtaken by events before they can even be implemented. Her message was clear: this is not a future risk but a present one.
