We have surely developed. Well, we should have
expected this; market rationality dictates that where there is demand, needs,
wants, ingenuity will always forge a path to the goods and services to
satisfy those wants, needs or demands, Mr J.C. Muyingo, my
brother (if we are still brothers, for I come from Kitgum, northern Uganda, that
backwater of development).
Hurray to liberalisation!
Given this economic and market logic, may be
eventually there will be a corollary political liberalisation, as the
owners of capital agitate to ensure that social and economic policies support
and reinforce each other, leading to greater demand for greater
individual freedoms and liberties, and a range of choices among and
between poltical parties analogous to the range of choices that the market
provides for them in satisfying their material consumption, recreational and
leisure needs (of our moneyed classes). You cannot create a middle class without
the trappings of its entertainment, recreational and leisure needs.
Shame on you UPC demagogues who keep on ranting
about how many dispensaries and hospitals you built under your checkered watch.
Why should you think of disability when you can make people enjoy themselves and
at the same time expand the tax base? Who wants to be reminded of death?
Hospitals and dispensaries are sooooo 1960s, guys. Who needs UDC, to stifle
initiatives, ingenuity and entrepreneurship? Who needs the Cooperatives,
marketing raw agricultural products without any value added, susceptible to the
uncertainties and vagaries of the international commodity markets? Think
individual, private capital, market and entrepreneurship and we give you
Tri-Star Apparel. We give you little girls dancing naked, if you wanted any
microscopic evidence of a self-sustaining economy. Honest to God!
Mr J.C. Muyingo should understand that
homosexuality, unless done for licenced and taxable prostitution, rather than
private, sexual relations between lovers, is not productive work; therefore
it is neither taxable nor is it allocated based on the rationlities of the
market. As a result, it will not show up in GDP accounting. How does
he think he can pitch a substraction from the the 7%
average GDP output to the same guy who stands to lose the most from
it?
Well, who needs the Kabakaship; that ancient,
conservative and fossilised relic of bygones! Why should we have those nnankasa
dancers clad in woven grass when they can dance in their bare skin, thanks to
the fudnamental change and the Ten Point programme of 1986? Imagine the tourism
money that would be made, from those buxom Baganda
women gyrating and wiggling in their Kintu original
suits! Markets! Markets! The Market, Mr J.C.
Muyingo.
This J.C. Muyingo must be a
northerner masquarading as a Muganda. How else would anyone be opposed to
development, the way those northerners are fighting and killing their own people
and stoppinmg investments and development from coming to them. Hurray to Development. Now those primitive, underdeveloped, backward
northerners have just got one more reason to hate and envy Buganda to bits. They
will think, those lucky bastards! Why are they on the right side of history
every time? 1886, they got the first direct path to God with the CMS; 1900, they
conclude a favoured agreement with the mother of all development, Imperial
Britain; 1971, they are the celebrants and revellers; 1979, they are delirious
with the palgue of merriment; 1986, they are both progenitor and progenies of
fudammental change and look what advantages it comes with!
Hurray to Fundamental Change! Hurray
to Economic Liberalisation! Hurray to the Market! Hurray to Development!
Hurray to entrepreneurship!
