When you go to Israel there is a program I need you to look for, they grow
Irish Potatoes on a river. They have a technology that allows Potatoes to
grow without using soil but water and you harvest them off water. Think of
the rivers we have in Uganda that only grow the hyacinth crap, if we would
only turn that around to forms of potatoes to be shipped out.
We need a new thinking in our country sir for we have so much we simply
waste.

Edward.
Let me tell you an interesting story. Napoli University is experimenting
with growing most African or Tropical crop in Italy.I have been in contact
with them.
Avocado which testing nothing is grown on a large scale in Isreal. But more
so Uganda Airlines whenever it landed in Germany in the sevenities had
pineapple and fresh cabbages. Your NRM/A can do miracles.
what haven't we said? The incompetence of these called revolutionary is
damning. You see when Europe and the USA we are emulating when they were
developing they had to hire south African engineers to build their railway .
Now tell me what lack of common sense is - which is a rare commodity.

You are addressing a massive problem narrowly. Uganda grew a whole lot of
food but that food was grown for local consumption never for earning foreign
exchange. How many cities had Uganda Matooke in the 60s? I get a flight of
Matooke every week in this city, so that is a commercial sale which you have
thrown on food supposed to be of home consumption. But you have not changed
the growth of Matooke in Uganda to commercial growth. So you are still going
to an old grand ma in the village and cutting her Matoke down to be exported
to Toronto on a weekly basis. That land she is using is not a direct
beneficially to the exportation as she is not a direct beneficially. 15
years down the road that plant is going to cease to exist, then what? I am
still going to survive in this city without Uganda matooke but you in Uganda
are going to starve to death. And it is called critical thinking for you
need to look at the time to come and you plan for it. Ugandans simply do not
plan for the future. There was a time Matooke mainly came from Masaka that
time passed and we changed to Eastern Uganda, can you tell me what we
replaced it with in Masaka? One of the mistakes this government has done and
they are many, is to think that Ugandans grow food so that the country gets
foreign exchange, nonsense Ugandans grow food to get local money to support
their lives locally, so if the buyer takes it to Toronto who cares, if he
takes it to Katwe market again who cares? Kenya sells flowers
internationally but they also grow it commercially, what is it you export
out of Uganda that you grow commercially today?
Did you know that UPC also made that mistake? They thought that Ugandans
grow coffee to get foreign exchange to the country. Nonsense they grew it to
support their families, when coffee failed to support them they cut it down
and there is no longer coffee. But the Japs I loved the most, you see the
Japs revolved with an expensive coffee tree in Eastern Uganda, when it
failed to supply their money locally, they cut it down and planted millet.
Why millet? Because you use millet to make Amalwa which they sell locally
and still get the money they need to run their lives locally. To a Jap it
never mattered If the Coffee earned Uganda a foreign exchange but has he
bought his wife a Gomesi this Christmas? Again the argument here is that the
population will manipulate the dust if it has to, as long as it gets the
money to run its lives locally. So you as a government get and use the
outcome of that investment to use it as a foreign exchange earning power as
a by the way, and the shallow thinking of government is failing to invest
into it to a commercial level. Uganda today is exporting a whole lot of
fish, but can you tell me how much they are investing into the Lakes to grow
that fish? Absolutely nothing. The Tilapia I eat in this city is fresh from
Uganda, do you know how I get it? Because Israel grows Uganda Tilapia on
commercial basis. When did they start? Way back during Obote one government,
they got samples out of Lake Victoria and started a very successful breeding
of Uganda Tilapia, it now shows up on Toronto streets in boxes as a product
from Israel. There is time to come up when the entire fish out of Uganda
Lakes dries up for you are growing it naturally but harvesting it
commercially, it simply cannot survive that long sir. By 2013 Uganda should
have stopped to fish out of lakes for export and getting all fish out of
tanks for exports but leave the Lake fish for local consumption. And
honestly that is the easiest thing to do. If Uganda fish grows in Israel
tanks in a small country under populated country as Israel why not put
massive tanks into Nakasongola to grow fish for export market? Nope we want
to manufacture bullets instead, eat the fish out of the Lakes and die.
God. Sometimes I find myself talking to my own firkin shadow.
Geez !!!!!!

In fact economic theorem will never develop a country but rather physical
planning and setting up such projects where people see the opportunities to
make money hence the economy and economic development. Who will ever go to
Yumbe to start a coca cola plant with physically planning that area? Mbu
direct foreign investment. In Kiruhura ahhaa they have developed a lot, now
they do not living a nomadic life, they also eat matooke and fruits.
Development!
Imagine Bugerere and Kyagwe i 1960 with matooke, cocoa plantations etc!
For NRM the two are the same - when we came in 1986 there were no
industries. They do not say we were booming every body and NRA strategy was
no economic activities, since the economy was Obote's economy.

UAH,
There is a difference between Economic growth and Economic Development.
Economic growth is like what so called good schools do - put the bright
students in one stream and the teachers put a lot of effort to coach them so
that they can score excellent grades in the UNEB papers. The duller students
are put in other streams and may even be forced to sit their exam from
another centre so that they don't spoil the performance of the school.
Economic development is believing every child can learn. Teachers spend time
with the slow learners to empower them and identify and nurture other
talents so that they benefit from the time at school. In the good old days
people learnt social skills, writing, speech making etc so that even if they
didnt have academic flair they had something to show for going to school.
Indifference is natural And as old as creation but has the current gov't
leaned against econ. development or growth? It's a gov't full of selfish and
greedy individuals. The larger no. of Ugandans live under the poverty line
and delivery of social services is at its lowest.
What development does is that it gives people more bang for the effort they
make. If I can use another education analogy:I started P1 in a school where
our class teacher neither spoke nor wrote English so we never learnt any
English the whole year. For P2 I was moved to another school where pupils
started learning English in P1. While classmates could read the story of
Poor Kapere - I on the other hand was reduced to cramming the story and
photographic interpretation. The teachers realised my predicament and put me
under the tutorial of the grade 1 teacher and after 2 terms I was at par
with the other pupils.
So let citizens exert economic effort but let government also create a
development oriented environment. The last 3 weeks the President has been
all over the place either laying foundation stones or unveiling plaques of
finished projects but the hall mark of these projects is that they
underscore the growth mindedness of our government.
Most people who consider themselves successful if they were honest would
admit that they are so because of opportunities. My teacher gave me
opportunity by taking time to tutor me. There are people who are poor today
and others who will be poor a decade later because they have been
systematically robbed of their opportunities. Under NRM,the opportunities
continue to flow (or to be pulled) in the direction of a few.
