who will tell the people - A story which is not to the peasant-
------ All DISTRICTS AND MUNICIPALITIES in the country should every financial year come up with an ambitious programme for example, in printed formatted- catalogues, which ILLUSTRATES AND PRESENTS an OVERVIEW PROGRAMME or plan encompassing a national policy programme supported with district/ municipal policy stimulus. This plan must be composed of SECTORAL PROGRAMMES, subsequent budget provision and sources, as you will see below to stimulate both COLLECTIVE AND PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES through increased production and consumption strategies. As Ive said before, our people have very small incomes, limited information and knowledge sources to trigger a meaningful developmental [infra] structures thus NECESSITATING an increased COLLECTIVE INVESTMENT input as DISTRICT AND MUNICIPAL ORGANISED STRATEGY to this end. The district/municipal programme must be subdivided into twelve (12) MAJOR SECTORS, which are in consonance with our INHERENT DEVELOPMENT NEEDS in the short, medium and long term. This action programme, must focus on regenerating sizeable incomes, employment vacancies, increased tax revenues, investment possibilities, environmental development and growth from Ugandas most potential sectors; while at the same time increasing our peoples knowledge capacity- human resources and independence. OVERVIEW OF DISTRICT /MUNICIPALITY PLANNING PROGRAMME: 1)- COMMUNICATION PROGRAMMES 1. a) Land-based or tele radio/ tv /phone communication (can be subsisted with designs on internet -for Katwe/UMA industries) 1. b) Data /statistics communication and exchange facilities largely based on (1.a) yet with independent infrastructure linked to Uganda National Bureau of Statistics, Ministries of finance and planning, Local Government, Public Services etc. 1. c) Careful study of DISTRIBUTION / INPUT (re) source structures for both local small/ big enterprises and individuals for district /municipal services and exchange for human resource/ fixed capital and goods programme. (national enterprise to enterprise communication facilitation) 1.d) Recreational excursions (PEOPLE TO PEOPLE COMMUNICATION) for district/municipal population, service workers and school going pupils and students- we must increase domestic/ internal tourism before we call on foreign tourist. The districts must take the initiative imagine you help people in Rukungir! i take a two week excursion to Moroto and vis verse. 2)- LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME 2.a)- Identifying all local /district upcoming, existing and struggling enterprises for FIRST IN-LINE OFFER investment support, opportunities, production and consumption possibilities. 2.b)- Increase local enterprise /entrepreneurial propensity to produce in machine design/ fabrication and construction. 2.c)- Public sectoral organisational / managerial development programmes mapped onto existing cultural, geographical and socio-economic, technological and environmental developmental status /level. 2.d)- Systematic identification, categorisation and cataloguing of all district agriculture/ mineral/ water resource bases in all national socio-economic and environmental sectors on land, air and water as future referential investment grid. 2.e)- Systematic mapping of district and municipal short and medium term investment possibilities as per national sector programme. 2.f)- Mapping of all strategic collective locally derived consumption meta /i! nfra (structures) as per existing and prospective local industry. This can be mapped onto institutional structure like schools, hospitals, governmental institutions Etc.. 3)- ENVIRONMENTAL-CARE PROGRAMME 3.a)- Uganda is tourist destination therefore every district should with uttermost care map all resources deemed to be of vital importance in the development of the sector. E.g. streams and rivers, wetlands, forest, grassland parks for thorough ecological and bio-diversity environmental care as potential collective economic utilities. 3.b)- Identifying income generating structure within, with the help of the tourism sector and zoology department. 3.c)- Re / introduction of strategic species like fish /birds /animal life from Latin America Brazil/Paraguay for consumption and tourism facilitation. 3.d)- Increase medicinal and non-medicinal plant life for subsequent [non-] medicinal use and other related facilities. 3.e.)- Reclaiming destroyed environmental facilities like wetlands, rivers, streams and springs, forests beaches and unique bushes. 3.d)- Reintroduction and developmental research into biological degradable environmentally friendl! y soil and agriculture fertilisation methodologies for both export and domestic markets. 4)- HOUSING FACILITATION PROGRAMME. 4.a)- The existing private initiative in housing facilitation is largely haphazard, egoistic and self serving, primitive, non scientific and doesnt include and /or is non-conformist to futuristic programme as illustrated above in (1) & (2) like proximity to communication, water meta/ infra - infrastructure. I DONT MEAN URBANISATION but rather a district/municipality planned housing facilitation programme for the private sector meeting planning programme (1) , (2) and (3). 4.b)- The existing construction in the housing sector is discriminative, socially retrogressive i.e. reflects social classing culminating into segregative behaviourism (Muyenga /Katwe Kinyolo/Kitoro)- districts/municipalities must support /have a district housing policy programme conforming to planning programme (1) , (2) and (3). 4.c)- The housing sector is highly expansive, therefore where the private sector cannot invest the district planning should take the initiati! ve by FIRST IN-LINE OFFER investment support, opportunities, production and consumption possibilities through a DISTRICT PROPERTY PLANNING FACILITY AND THE PRIVATE SECTOR. People must have the freedom to build but they must follow the established laws. 4.d)- District and municipal housing facilities either private or public must meet the established standards like necessary infrastructure for electricity, water, cooking and refrigeration facilities, telephone and internet facilities , and roads too in conformity with point (1), (2) and (3). 4.e)- Both private and public housing facilities must meet district health laws otherwise dont build to kill people in AIDS caused by HIV. 5)- RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME. 5a)-There are no jobs in cities therefore district municipalities must come up with a comprehensive rural development programme for rural areas and preserving them . 5b)-With rapid industrialisation rural areas suffer from natural death through increased rural-urban migration therefore rural areas should not be seen only in light of urban product related production. 5c)- Programme plan (1), (2) and (3) should be implemented as soon as it can be possible as a rural regeneration effort. 6)- TRADE AND INDUSTRIAL SECTORS 6a)- As a matter of AGENCY, all district municipal centres must set up the following, DISTRICT 24-HOUR ONLINE connection computer booth to Uganda related PRODUCT /COMMODITY EXPORT STOCK EXCHANGES FOR PRICE MONITORING and trade volumes, i.e. coffee trade, cocoa, minerals, etc. Traders must sell only when prices go up not otherwise. This is very much possible all over the country given to OUR SOLAR ENERGY POTENTIAL, soft and hardware plummeting prices. 6b)- Local /individual enterprises (compulsory) , secondary school students (voluntary) already in design, mechanical, electrical, cloth making, communication, motor vehicle mechanics, construction; should be allowed a one week /per month ( > 12 weeks /year) an INTENSIVE-CARE ON JOB SKILL ATTAINMENT COURSE in one of the above trade with an online 24 hour support from where ever it can be attained. Existing district school facilities can be used for this purpose. For instance downloading radio or! telephone /tv/ computer mother board circuit or water and wind electricity motors and generator designs. 6c)- Systematic exposure of the peasant together with the help of their children to on-line commercial trade etc. in agro-products and commodities. 7)- ENERGY PLANNING PROGRAMME. 7a)- It is entirely stupid to argue that there are no electricity facilities in Uganda. Therefore every district facing a shortfall in hydropower energy forms should together with Makerere Univeristy, Kyambogo polytechnic, UMA develop alternative wind, and solar energy resources. 7b)- All private and public facilities MUST reduce their non-renewable energy sources like wood and charcoal by 80% with a year or less. 7c) - All districts /municipalities together with the ministry of energy, tourism, industry and trade, agriculture MUST develop a low income non-renewable energy strategy or ban non-renewable energy use all together especially in fishing regions, charcoal making regions etc. 7d)- All municipal centres in Uganda especially Kampala, Kabale, Jinja, Mbarara, Arua, Mbale, Lira, Gulu, Entebbe MUST with immediate effect after careful evaluation of alternative energy production potential together with Makerere university, Kyambogo universi! ty, Uganda manufactures association, NEMA ban all use of charcoal in conformity with plan programme (2) (3) and (4). 8)-FEED /RAILWAY ROAD MAINTENANCE PROGRAMME There is a national programme to this effect which must be integrated in district planning. One might add 8.a) Together with Uganda Railways Corporation, and water communication district must district with such infrastructural network should work out a plan to maintain the infrastructure a national programme and reduce the burden on the corporation on condition that such districts i.e. Tororo, Iganga, Jinja , Kampala Mpigi, Busiro, Mityana etc get a 5% remittance of every ticket sold by the use of the infrastructure. 9)- CONSERVATION PROGRAMME 9a)-This is not the same as environmental-care but rather it encompasses on the conservation of what is already there. In western Uganda mountain forest have been decimated with non scientific agricultural methods. On the road to Mubende the situation is the same as on Jinja road. WE must preserve our natural species. 9b)-The Nile Perch consume the Talipia at a carnivorous rate, the white rhino might be gone, our elephants are on the edge- Kampala once had Impalas and antelopes we need a district strategy to make urban regions conducive to mammalian conservation through point (4), (5) and (7). 9c) If one happens to move along Kampala- Masindi, Gulu road there is a pine forest stretching to Masindi but in the forest there is totally no undergrowth- this is terrible. This is a cattle region what do cattle eat in such a region? We must have a conservation of our vital grasses. 9d) Planning or urban regions should protect water sources in every distr! ict town from carcinogenic and toxic substance i.e. industrial areas must be planned away from environmentally strategic region etc. 10) LOCAL TRAFFIC. 10.a)- Districts must step ahead of events. The most problematic situation in Europe and North America is urban traffic. District municipalities must have a traffic plan in relation with commercial & public housing and trading centres. Kampala is an absurd example. When one enter an office in the city red dust greet you. Towns and cities must be planned in relation to traffic channels. 10.b)- City parks should be located in areas where will cause minimal noise and environmental damage from linking oils and petroleum products. Look at Kampala /Masaka taxi parks - it is hell terribly filthy areas not good for human habitation at all. 10.c)- Study in air pollution shows raising threat from pollution intensive traffic must be avoided in town centres and cities. 10.d)- District administration should be innovative and start district to district transport facilities for school children, tourism and other forms of communication as revenues sources. 10-e) Water tr! ansport can be developed i.e. Jinja Portbell to decrease traffic congestion and national oil bill. 11)- NATIONAL PARKS 11.a)- National parks are a resource and not a solely state preoccupation. District must increase there potential in creating national parks which might also increase their tourism incomes. Every district can create a national park and as per plan programme (9) and (3) introduce controlled zoological, aquatic and marine activities. 11.b) District must start small drug research facilities by cataloguing botanical bio-medicinal plants for future drug industry. 11.c) In the far East and Asia generally there is a cultural of eating lizards, caterpillars etc we should introduce them to the wealth of our resources and a such as them if they can offer market from our controlled exotic reptile and animal farming. 11.d) For our own future we need a lot of investment in national parks all over the country as a multi-sector investment opportunity. This can be studied. 11.e) There is what is called exotic fish farming which is very conducive in tropical regions . F! ish is glass ware in European and American cities are produced in Asia and Latin America we can increase our natural wealth by introducing the same as national park programme strategy for tourism purposes.
