Subject: ugnet_: DFWA –
policy statement on multiparty talks.
www.idr.co.ug/dfwa-u/Nymapp/justice.htm
The democratic Farmers Workers Alliance does not legitimise criminality and
oppression- and therefore its esteemed membership who are eager to see DFWA get
involved in the political discussion by multiparty confidants in Uganda –
on behalf of DFWA we wish to state the following;
(a) We will categorically not compromise DFWA position or sit down with people
who have committed crimes in our country and societies and now fronting
themselves as democrats. They must first face the law or publicly denounce and fully
compensate those they wronged, property they destroyed and lives they
slaughtered. We have laboured to show those crimes from 1960s to date –
the common man and woman must see justice done.
(b) The parties and entities themselves should foot the cost of such a
conference. That all those involved in those talks should do so at their own
cost and that no taxpayers’ money is wasted.
(c) That issues like the right and freedom of association, as categorically
state in the constitution should not become an issue for the elitist club
debate but rather implement henceforth without any preconditions.
(d) The law is on our side, Uganda does not belong to a click of people
connected by clan, blood or crimes committed, who can play on the psychology of
our people. We are stating it once again, the inherent rights of Ugandans
should be respected as per law established AND NOT DETERMINED by those with
excessive power; economically, education, monetary and politically over the
majority citizens.
(e) DFWA is not in a hurry to engage in pet discursive politics that benefits
those involved other than the entire well-being of the majority citizens.
Shouldn’t such an elitist club first explain to the citizenry, why for 40
years the poor is getting poorer while they the rich are getting richer and by
virtual of their enormous power are increasingly oppressing the common tax
payer?
(f) All parties, organisations and other entities involved should explain to
the citizenry – the amount of money that has been spent by the present
government on developmental issues of the commons’ welfare since 1986 and
how the common has benefited and how she or her will benefit in the future.
The above are based on the most basic factors on behalf of the workers,
farmers, women, the disabled, the old and children. Therefore DFWA demands the
following to be clearly stated and how they will be met before the elitist club
start their social conventions:-
1. Education is a right not a privilege for every citizen, therefore the
Democratic Farmers Workers Alliance – Uganda (DFWA-U) is demanding free
education from pre-primary school to pre-university level, financed by worker
and farmers collective taxes paid to government annually.
2. Shelter is the most basic precondition for a reasonable life – the
Democratic Farmers Workers Alliance – Uganda (DFWA-U) is demanding that
every single Uganda farmer and worker be availed with a 4 – 5 a single
room prefabricated or permanent housing facilities financed through their taxes
payable on an annual basis. That all TYPES OF PERMANENT shelters acquired with
collective taxation, should be owned co-operatively through shares or funds by
the workers and farmers not by the state.
3. Mothers are the foundation in the reproduction of the nation- the Democratic
Farmers Workers Alliance – Uganda (DFWA-U) demands that every single
mother should be availed free maternal care in both private and public medical
care facilities. Plus a monthly paid leave for a consecutive twelve-month
period at Ug Shs. 50,000 per month per mother.
4. Having children is not a privilege to the nation - therefore the Democratic
Farmers Workers Alliance – Uganda (DFWA-U) demands that for every Ugandan
child, be offered a monthly upkeep fee of Ug Shs. 20,000. From the date of
birth to the calendar date when the child reaches the age of seven (7) and at
the calendar date it starts into a private or public school.
5. The Democratic Farmers Workers Alliance – Uganda (DFWA-U) demands that
all Uganda children in pre-secondary schools must have full life insurance
coverage paid by the state.
6. For the elderly, non-employed disabled people, army recruits and school
children in pre-secondary institutions, the Democratic Farmers Workers Alliance
– Uganda (DFWA-U) demands that free transport facilities MUST be availed
financed on farmer and workers taxes paid to URA and NSSF.
7. All school going children as well as all workers and farmers in both private
and public institutions and units should be availed two well balanced diet or
meal per day. Necessary to keep them alter and healthy. A standard that the
Democratic Farmers Workers Alliance – Uganda (DFWA-U) demand the school
of medicine to come up with immediately.
8. All people are equal before the law and their gods; therefore the services
they get from the state must all be equally distributed. The Democratic Farmers
Workers Alliance – Uganda (DFWA-U) demands therefore that private and
public utilities and institutions offering services to the general public be
standardised to meet equal service distribution to the citizens.
9. Immobile communication: the Democratic Farmers Workers Alliance –
Uganda (DFWA-U) demands that for every farmer a landline telephone network or
were it is not possible a mobile fixed domestic phone be availed. Plus a television
and radio link network, and radio and television set plus furniture and
utensils at a discount rate, from Uganda manufactures association (UMA) in the
above mentioned permanent structures.
10. Transport is a necessity for society to function: the Democratic Farmers
Workers Alliance – Uganda (DFWA-U) demands that for every district
municipality, transport organs should be instituted together with the private
sector for a comprehensive inter-regional or inter-municipal public transport
network, also financed on the collective taxes paid to government annually. For
mothers, the elderly and school going children cheap transport save time and
lives therefore should be availed immediately.
11. For every Ugandan owned enterprise with ten (10) or more employees, the
Democratic Farmers Workers Alliance – Uganda (DFWA-U) demands that (a).
The state provides concessions to cover the Uganda’s wide market through
import tariffs (b). The state provides provisions for research and development
funds for three to five fully funded doctoral studentship research in both
private and public universities (c). Two - three week – market research
excursion tickets outside Uganda for exportable Uganda products.
12. The Democratic Farmers Workers Alliance – Uganda (DFWA-U) demands
that Uganda Farmers MUST run and own all towns and city markets, on
co-operative basis, have shares in them and with THE LEAST MINIMAL government
or state intervention as it is today with indirect municipal intervention and
private interests.
13. The Democratic Farmers Workers Alliance – Uganda (DFWA-U) demands
that all districts must by law have food buffers – to cover both local
food needs and those for export for at least three month on government cost.
14. The Democratic Farmers Workers Alliance – Uganda (DFWA-U) demands
that all Uganda workers in privately foreign owned enterprises should have
stake in them. In form of shares at 15-25 % of the enterprise fixed and
variable capital OR ELSE Uganda workers should be offered payable one monthly
holiday per year, plus life insurance grantees and coverage, and the enterprise
must foot the workers medical bills.
15. In addition, respective public and private units must avail affordable
footwear as well as clothing material or in case were cost might be higher for
a single unit that respective units and institutions will seek concessionaire
measures together with Uganda textile industry and retailers to provide
affordable footwear and clothing. Through workers and farmer’s
co-operatives, unions, academic institutions for going all children and youth
and factories for workers.
16. Work is a natural necessity for both psychological, physiological and
national development purposes. It is therefore in the interest of the
Democratic Farmers Workers Alliance – Uganda (DFWA-U) that for all
professional Ugandans, who have not yet found a proper and viable employment or
are underemployed be availed the means for doing so. Through government funded
re-education programme in professional skill attainment in areas where the
state lacks human resources. (telematic engineering design & construction,
radio, TV repairing, mechanics, digital engineering and design, nursing,
medicine, hard-software design, tapestry, carpet and cloth making, carpentry
and masonry, building and construction, basic architecture, farming etc.)
17. In regard to unprofessional or skilled Ugandans – a six month to two
years government funded regional vocational institutions should offer
professional skills in fields relevant to the nations development needs,
attainable in a period raging from six (6) month to two (2) years. The
Democratic Farmers Workers Alliance – Uganda (DFWA-U) demands that for
every Ugandan adult farmer from age 18 years, more professional skills
attainment should be mandatory to realise their full potential as complete
human beings.
18. Voluntary military service should be instituted for professionalism. On the
other side every Ugandan should undergo a three monthly military training
relevant to the defence of the country, the farmer and her property. The
military should never again be a personal property.
For DFWA - (U).
