Ugandans You see this is the very reasoning we have always been using, the danger of it is that Ssalongo Ssenoga has the ability to state that Matooke is being exported to North America and we are doing very fine. Now go and ask him how many Uganda kids at home actually sleep with no food on their table and see that the does not have those numbers and he does not even care. For a very long time, Dr Kiiza Besigye has been exporting Pigs out of Uganda, what percentage of Uganda kids actually have access to it? Sweet Banana or Ndiizi how many Ugandans actually can access it? As long as Uganda kids still get an egg as a medication for coughing you seriously need to stop thinking in what we have is great. What you define as a rant actually kills several birds with one stone, you create jobs in Uganda which you seriously need, and a Ndiizi off Masaka plantation exported by the train you want is not creating that job. You create foreign exchange in the country, many of the exporters in Uganda today create personal money and pile it up into Toronto using Uganda Banana. Can I really build a hospital in Uganda for ndiizi is being exported off Masaka farm? The answer is no. But you also create a middle class in the country which you pathetically got entrenched out of for you are using that same old Ndiizi from Bugerere.
As I said this is a new reasoning and thinking we need for Ssenoga' s reasoning is the typical Olara Otunnu PHD we have dealt with for 30 years.

Kiiza Besigye Uganda ni katika machafuko" -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ssalongo Ssennoga Sent: Saturday, October 19, 2013 10:30 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: {UAH} AKIM ODONG THIS IS ABOUT CHANGING A STUPID CULTURE Ronald Okuonzi, EM's rant is nothing but just that! He is still pleading to permanently head damaged people to write policy! Uganda doesn't need to grow anything at commercial scale to remain in business! Uganda just has to go back to the drawing board, discover what's unique, and make sure its produced to the finest standards and made rare taking command of the market chain from start to finish! Ugandan coffee, Sweet Bananas (Ndiizi), honey, Enseenene... Yess! That one and lord knows what else are second to none in the world. They can be farmed, processed, packed,distributed and retailed from end to end by Ugandan outfits. What the Ugandan government can do is to establish a functional railway system straddling the continent, east to west north to south, shipping lines starting out from where the Railways terminate, and Airplane flight paths making beelines for hot markets of the rare Ugandan nutritional delicacies competing with big pharma to restore peoples damaged health. Above all, research into keeping the product as natural as it gets without falling to the allure of the laboratory tinkering that has kept the medics in business. So, before lauding EM's meaningless gibberish that passes off for critical thinking, keep in mind that Uganda will never be viable in a million years of trying, we can only pull off investment of this magnitude the day Africa starts breathing and trading as one!.
