Hi Jackson, I agree with you abolutely. Very important ideas have been share in this forum. We really need to find a way to capture such ideas and channel them into the decsion making process. This requires some agreement on strategy and tactics. If we do not position ourselves strategically our voices will just evaporate in thin air and things will remain the same. One person i have worked with and i know he is action oriented and gifted in documentation is engineer Patrick Okuni. I would like to suggest that we ask him to summarise the discussions we have been having on some of the key issues and share them with us all. On the basis of the out come, we can roceed to take another step to refine, agregate, articulate and channel the ideas into the decsion making organs in the region. I also agree that we should come up with some sort of name or lable as an identity in order to claim integrity and legitimise the authorial voice. I would like to suggest we call ourselves WestNile Global Forum for Development (WGFD) so that it encapasses the global character of the forum and and its focus on development. I would be glad if some one could support my proposal. Thank you. Sam Andema University of British Columbia 6335 Thunderbird Crescent Box 034, Vancouver BC V6T 2G9 Tel: 604 827 2131

However, we need to coordinate or transform these ideas into some constructive format. As professionals, our vision, dreams, Ideas/ideals can be better delivered if we organize them into a usable format. For instance, we had a lot of discussion on Barifa Forest, Matego District, Electricity. How do we get these ideas to the Local Councils, Munical council , RC/LC, Mayor or Town Clerk? Who can represent our voices? The ideas poured on the net were very brilliant. It will be futile if we do not pass these ideas in the hands of the local authorities. If we are going to be a constructive think tank for our communities, we seriously need to have a plan on how to communicate our ideas to the local administrators. Most of us are scatered all over the surface of the globe, I believe this net is a perfect tool for voicing our opinions. Without these ideas reaching the people who implemnt policies in West Nile Region, are we honestly trying to solve any problem(s) or bring any change(s)? I would like to suggest/recommend we should organize ourselves as " a body with a name". Whatever name people propose/suggest we can discuss it. For instance, The Task Force was formed in response to poor performance in schools. They are working towards a spefic goal. Do we want to continue to exist as a reactive problem solvers or we had better exist as proactive problem solvers? I thiink we should catch on the fire from the TF?

You could pass by the Arua Municipal Council offices and get the proposed layout for the area. I am aware ndugu Findru was working on this around the end of last year. Colleagues: Sorry for coming up late on this issue - I'm one of those guilty of the tort well described by counsel Alaka below, regarding this network.. We sure can contribute in a constructive way in guiding the rational and transparent apportioning of the famoun piese of properety. Best...

For those in my category I suggest we begin a registration desk for the Barifa Forest plots and hand over the list to Arua Town Clerk and our good friend Mayor Charles Asiki so that we seriously take charge of the planned development of that particular part of West Nile that could serve as a module for other towns in the region. I saw some communication on West NileNet on this subject but it seems to have phased out. I propose one of the engineers in our community of West NileNet takes the task of getting the proposed plan for the development of the area and inform members on details of the plans (Residential, School, Restaurant, recreation, health centre etc) and then cause folks to register as a group or individuals in particular project they wish to pick on and then we move as a group to secure the plots after the registration of interests. I propose Eng. Patrick Okuni and Caleb Alaka for the task of leading us in this proposal.

We thank the Almighty God that we now have this Forum which acts as a catharsis for us and has tickled us to become conscious about our cherished W/ Nile . Initially, we were all guilty of the tort of Neglecting, abandoning, turning our backs and dereliction of duty towards West Nile . As a result for almost two decades, we have never influenced events in W/Nile despite our heavy intellectual and material achievements. Talk of W/Nile Chamber of Commerce, LC5's, LCIII's and LCI chairpersons in W/Nile, they are mostly headed by charlatans, criminals, thugs, crooks, and invent any derogatory superlative it will define them. Now that we are a force, I believe we shall cause several changes in W/Nile. Atama Majid Junior, don't feel offended as one of the LC5 chairpersons from W/Nile is my uncle. o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o DISCLAIMER THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS COMMUNICATION IS CONFIDENTIAL AND MAY BE LEGALLY PRIVILEGED.IT IS INTENDED SOLELY FOR USE OF THE INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY TO WHOM IT IS ADDRESSED AND OTHERS AUTHORIZED TO RECEIVE IT.
