You cannot limit external travelling, for it is not bad or wrong, many times
we have seen these laws out of the blue thrown into society and you have a
trip that is required but some punk sat down and simply limited the powers
to travel. There are many requirements of travellings that you will never
list all of them, so what you do it to list the requirements to travel, if
they are satisfied then the officer travels. So what you need is the system
created to manage those travels.
Now that is the way things are done in a normal country, what is in Uganda
is different, Ugandans think that Uganda is abroad. Again go back to my
posting I did this morning, Museveni planted a mustard seed in Nairobi It
is caricature for opposition to think that their strength is in The American
embassy, The British embassy, the stupidity of Norbert Mao to walk on The
White house compound. The silliness of UNAA the silliness of Buganda land
board, the silliness of Bakiga organization, the silliness of Ugandans in
The Nordics, As all these organizations get created, they are created for
the owners need an air time with Ugandans in diaspora than the Ugandans at
home. Politics is always local, go home and create the policies then turn
around and sell them to the people at home for it is them that elect you.
Not me in diaspora not Gook in Kigali but my mother at home. Look at
Museveni very carefully, he is strategically at home and he manages the
votes, why not Olara Otunnu? Why is Otunus voice only in addressing the
press or the American embassy in Kampala or addressing Ugandans in UK? And
that is the disease eating Uganda opposition. Government officers can travel
but my God isnt our problem today of Mengo that has The Buganda Land
Commission in UK and the Buganda conference just closing in the US? How do
they get funded? Does it make sense to hold such expenses when you have
buildings with such toilets? Langis and Acholis had every right to create
external organizations for at a time The North was closed, as soon as the
war ended, The Acholis and Langi organizations should have been closed for
you cannot operate in Uganda. And why do Bakiga need an external
organization? Is there a war in Rukungiri lately? It is the creation of
these small entities that the so called politicians in Uganda feed on. There
is a starting suggestion out here that we need to start to target these
organizations, my God we have an NRM branch in Toronto. Really why? So you
need a brand new thinking across the board not across the government alone.
I have been in this city many many years but this Buganda Land commission,
this Tabamiruka crap has not been here, all this brand new Buganda kind of
begging that I never expected Mengo to do is simply annoying. Abaganda are
not supposed to turn themselves into Balebeesi, but under Ssabassajja Mutebi
Amasiro maintenance is not a responsibility of Baganda but UNESCO.
I cannot see that happening under Ssekabaka Mutesa. There is simply no
firkin no way you would hand Amasiro to UNESCO but Ssabassajja Mutebi
actually did.

UAHs,
We urgently need to also rationalize what we spend on e.g. things like
travels inland or abroad. Media has been reporting clamoring at Parliament
in regard to foreign trips. For example, data visualization by Advocates
Coalition for Development and Environment (ACODE) shows that Parliamentary
Commission expenditure is shooting through the roof. From sh82b in the
2008/2009 financial year, it hit sh280b in the 2010/2011 financial year and
continues to grow. A deeper drill into the datasets show that many MPs are
spending tax payers money on foreign trips. MPs are entitled to an
allowance of sh1.4m ($550) per day spent out of the country on official
duty.
On the 21st of November 2011, the media reported that sh8.5b was allocated
to facilitate at least 300 of the 344 legislators on foreign travel for the
financial year 2011/2012. In a space of just four months, sh2.2 billion had
already been spent on MPs foreign travels - an average of Sh550m per month.
Whereas some MPs trips or other public officials are justified, travels
should be streamlined to national interest to avert bloating public
administration expenditure and balance our wage bill.
We need to consider reducing the number of MPs. We don't need special
interest groups in parliament anymore. May be we could just have quotas for
Women Representatives in parliament.
Similar trends are noticeable with regard to the expenditure on State House.
In FY2007/08 State House had an approved budget of UGX48.65 billion. It
ended up spending UGX66.04 billion. In FY2011/12, a budget of UGX63.64
billion was approved. By the end of the financial year, a total of UGX157
billion, almost three times what had been budgeted for had been blown up.
The first order of business, our top priority as Ugandans without any
equivocation, must be the removal of the Museveni regime. This is the
immediate and most urgent goal of our struggle. Why? Because the regime has
lost all legitimacy. It cannot be reformed...it can only be removed!

Oil economics. Numbers dont lie. No? At an estimated peak production of
200,000 barrels perday, and an assumed recovery costs of 40% of the total
revenues given the current tax regime of 12.5% royalty, 30% corporate tax
and profit share of 67.5% - Uganda at estimated crude price of 100USD-
uganda could make 9.8 million dollars per day or least 3.6bn dollars per
annum..

after deducting royalties(12.5% of total revenue) and, recovery costs( 40%
of total revenue)- then the profit oil is obtained( in essence profit oil is
47.5% of gross revenue 18m which is 9.5m which is same as D=a-B-C.
what i can deduce here is that the oil companies will be earning more than
the government since they have a 40% recovery cost as well as a 32.5% share
of the profit. In total their take home per day will be approximately 10.5m
per day after tax. So, why would government pay cost recovery of 40% to the
oil company and also pay them a share of the profit????
That said-see the potential revenues if we are producing lesser amounts
