Dear Colleagues,

I, for one, am not amused when I see the abuse of naturally fertile land under 
the disguise of development/poverty alleviation - as is being portrayed in 
several environmentally unfriendly activities of some companies.

BAT in Uganda has been licensed by our government to grow/process tobacco. The 
sugar coating here is domestic/economic empowerment - good colonial idea, but 
now obsolete. During the colonial era, agriculture was one of the weapons 
colonial masters used to divide and fight the unsuspecting Ugandans. 

Consider this scenario: Northern Region (land of the Acholi and Langi) 
'specialised' in growing cotton, Central Region 'specialised' in growing 
coffee, Ma'di (misplaced in West Nile) 'specialised' in growing cotton,... 
Please, I beg to be corrected if I am misinforming members. Today West Nile 
almost grows every crop (cotton, coffee, rice, bananas, fruit trees,...) grown 
in other parts of Uganda.  Why should West Nile perpetually stick to tobacco 
and does it primitively?

However, before, embarking on fundamental socio-economic change to thwart 
perceptible imbalances, my advice is to consider all legal implications of this 
stir. BAT-U and NEMA are two antagonistic organisations licensed by the Uganda 
government to achieve its national objectives. The government too has several 
other governing/executive/implementing arms. In my view, decampaigning BAT-U 
tantamount to frustrating the good plans of a legitimate government. Thus, 
charges, among many others, for treason/conspiracy might be levelled against 
suspected perpetrators.

This returns me back to my earlier E-mail to the Administration (President in 
particular) of this forum in which I requested to have access to WNF 
Constitution, Aims/objectives, forum Acts/By-laws and all the documents that 
can enable members to buy the forum's vision and propagate its noble course. 

Christine:   Thank you. I can gauge your dislike for tyrannical policies more 
so directed against your people, but be cool all will work out.

Before, I conclude, can anybody out there come to my rescue?

Kind Regards,

Sebastian

We need a calculated move to start educating famers to stop Tobacco farming in 
my opion. I have always been annoyed about it. actually if we start radio 
programs, BATU would get worried and start addressing some of the issues we 
need to address.
 
Thanks
 
Christine

 TOBACCO FARMING  CAUSE OF MICRO-CLIMATE CHANGE AND CYCLES OF POVERTY  IN WEST 
NILE 
 
I need to bring to the attention of this forum what the above has costed the 
lives of our rural  peasants who are miss advised or misguided by greedy 
individuals.
Read the following carefully

 There is no profit farmers get in the year round investment beacuse what they 
actual get is the cost for their  labour
 There are no streamlined Agro forestry and re-afforestation program apart from 
telling farmers to plant eucalyptus that drains wet land and destroy soils.
No farmer education and training  on how to use the little money they have 
recived
They have mantained weak farmer leadership that only extend their rule over the 
famer with no concern of what the farmers face in their families
No discolsure of the international market price of tobacco in the world market 
and yet the put false grade to rob the farmers of their tobacco and sell at 
competitive price in the international market infact an indirect slave trade ie 
use of excessive labour without pay
There is no projcet BATU is spear heading in Westnile to thank the people for 
work well done for them.and many more
Therefore, fellow westnilers it is high time we educated our people so that 
they can understand  the cost every thing we are doing now otherwise I am 
afraid that what the next generation may find a desert instead of green 
golden grass and I pray that this year the West Nile Foundation should look 
into some of these things that is affecting the socio-economic well being of 
our local people other than solving crisis programs like what happened to  
Tobacco farmers last year.

The Regional Tier system of government which will come into existence in Uganda 
in the near future is the most and ideal form of government for Ugandans at 
large.This type of government was there in Sixties at District level.Districts 
were combined to form REGIONS such as NORTHERN REGION,EASTERN REGION,CENTRAL 
REGION andWESTERN REGION.Districts and Regions were absolutely well organized 
in terms of Education,Health and Agriculture.In the field of Education, schools 
were well organized and service delivery was made perfect.The REGIONAL TIER 
will ignite atmosphere of  self determination where developmental initiatives 
could be launched by the local people.The Regional Tier will have its own 
government plus members of Parliament.The Party which attains the majority 
members of Parliament will rule in the REGIONAL TIER GOVERNMENT.The Districts 
within the Region would form their own local governments.The late Dr OBOTE 
encouraged and promoted Regional
Development.It is completely right and fitting now to follow the footsteps of 
the late Dr Obote.The commonmans charter of the most eloquent President in the 
entire world is being practised in SOUTH AFRICA yet Ugandans still bicker on 
REGIONAL TIER.It is high time to strengthen the JUDICIARY and EXECUTIVE of 
REGIONAL TIER in WESTNILE as a whole.

Hi Colleagues
 
Thanks for all the humour - I didn't in the least imagine Fr Ruffino's 
experience and depth of language on the issue of malua.
 
On a more serious note, the MASU guys are for final budgeting right now, and 
just called me. They quite tight on funding, even for malua. Guys, let us show 
solidarity and participate by sending them some funds now by MM to 0774 265003. 
My humble 100K or so should reach them by tomorrow. Over to you all?
 
Regards
 
Patrick

Nice to hear from you. It was just to say we are missing in action with your 
valuable westnilic wisdom. Some joke was needed.

Fellow Distinguished Brothers and Sisters on this Forum,



I would like to thank Mr. Sebastian Owilla for a good point of information in 
re-informing this forum of the important debate the President of West Nile 
Foundation requested about activities of the Foundation. I know Mr. John 
Avudria has been persistently mentioning this issue in the past few weeks,  but 
we have not been able to initiate any discussions or deliberations on the 
administration or coordination and/or activities of the Foundation. Thank you 
Mr. Rogers Anguzu for re-posting the President's submission which I actually 
had never seen before. Infact I have not seen the minutes of the last meeting 
which probably was also posted, but slipped off my attention somewhere when I 
was probably not a away for sometime.

rum subscribers are faced with with respect to the development of our regio=
n=2C West Nile. They are many and almost all of them are equally important =
when one sits to think about them. According to the President=2C there are =
almost 220 subscribers to the forum to discuss the development issues of We=
st Nile.  I would like to believe that these 220 people have made a serious=
decision to subscribe to the debate and discussions to move our region to =
a different level of development as opposed to what it is at this present t=
ime. However=2C we should not be naive to believe that all these subscriber=
s have the same agenda in their subscription to the forum. In our discussio=
n and/or deliberations for the development of the region we are bound to ri=
dicule and antagonize each other and the government wherever appropriate. H=
owever=2C we shall have have to bear in mind that vigorous intellectual deb=
ate should be encouraged without fear and favour but in the interest of fin=
ding a solution to the problem(s) at hand. We shall definitely identify and=
isolate subscribers who may have sinister objectives and other agenda with=
regard to the development of our region.=20

=20

First I would like to suggest that since the foundation is has no funds as =
it has just been initiated=2C we should all agree to pay the annual sh.50=
=2C000.00/- as suggested. [Assuming all the 220 subscribers paid up=2C we s=
hall have (220 X 50=2C000.00) =3D 11=2C000=2C000.00 (11 million) which I be=
lieve is a reasonable starting funds for the Foundation]. I will begin by p=
ledging my membership - please treasurer write me in and I will pay sh.100=
=2C000.00/- for my membership by this weekend. I think we should should sta=
rt from this point of paying membership fee so that the foundation has some=
operational funds.

=20

Secondly=2C I would like to suggest the foundation should  follow up with t=
he Education Task Force deliberations and the Hunger Project we already sta=
rted since last year.=20

As for the education project=2C we saw a report sometime last year=2C a sub=
mission of which I believe was only associated with schools in Yumbe distri=
ct. Much as we may have similar problems with schools in the whole of West =
Nile=2C I think we need to find out what happened to the reports from other=
districts? Although the president's submission had a plan to have 150 PhD =
holders and 200 Master degree holders in west Nile=2C I would like to say t=
hat I think the problems with Kindergarden (Pre-Primary)=2C Primary and Sec=
ondary school level are the most important the foundation should address. I=
f the early foundations are not properly laid=2C we are bound to have probl=
ems in achieving those targets for the higher learning. We have all seen ho=
w in the past 20 or so years the levels of Primary and Secondary education =
has deteriorated in our region. My suggestion would be for the foundation t=
o establish or support at least two or three Primary and Secondary schools =
in each of the districts in West Nile. These schools should become model sc=
hools from which the highest academic standards are expected=2C enforced=2C=
with excellent school infrastructure provided and qualified and well motiv=
ated teachers recruited. While higher education (PhDs and Masters Degrees) =
is a good bar we have set=2C it is imperative to note that our expectation =
in the kind of education we should think is should be linked to many improv=
ements in quality of life=2C such as increased employment opportunities=2C =
lowered fertility rates=2C more productive farming=2C better nutrition=2C e=
mpowerment of women=2C reduction of maternal and child mortality=2C improve=
d hygiene=2C and lower incidence of diseases.=20

=20

The Hunger project should continue=2C and more seeds needs to be procured a=
nd distributed to the people in need and perhaps the program can be modifie=
d to agricultural self help projects with the focus on food security. =20

=20

Thirdly=2C the Foundation should be at the centre of finding ways to provid=
e energy for our region. We all know that one of the problems we face in We=
st Nile is lack of stable energy supply for almost any possible development=
activity. If we want to attract foreign investments or even local investme=
nts=2C we shall need to have a stable and adequate source and supply of ene=
rgy.=20

=20

Fourthly=2C we have a major catastrophe awaiting if we do not address the w=
ater supply issues in the whole of West Nile. Sometime back I mentioned tha=
t we have to brace ourselves for a serious fight for source of water to sup=
ply the much needed water in West Nile. Although we have the River Nile flo=
wing within our reach=2C Sudan and Egypt which entirely depend on the Nile =
will not make it easy for us to tap some of the water from the NILE. In whi=
ch case we need to begin planning for conservation of the Borehole water wh=
ich we mostly depend on. This requires us to think of better ways to harnes=
s our limited groundwater resources. With vagary of climatic uncertainties =
we should not be complacent that we shall have enough quantity of quality w=
ater for our daily use. Other than the daily domestic use of water=2C if we=
are to aspire for industries in our region we shall need sufficient water =
supply. We therefore need to think of planning and implementing water conse=
rvation as soon as possible.

=20

Fifth=2C we need the Foundation to plan for the reconstruction or advocate =
for reconstruction of Arua Airfield as an International Airport as in the i=
nitial plan in the 1970's. I believe with the improvement of Arua Airfield =
to an international airport=2C we shall create businesses which will will t=
ranslate into jobs. Movement of good and people through Arua will have a tr=
emendous economic impact in our region. Goods and people travelling to Equa=
torial region of Congo and Southern Sudan will create a huge market with do=
wn fall of other businesses being created in our region.  Suffice to say=2C=
good infrastructure is important=3B it is the bedrock of economic growth. =
Good leaders understand its importance=3B great leaders ensure that it is b=
uilt.

=20

Sixth=2C the issue of following up with matters affecting our people. In th=
is particular case=2C I would like to suggest the issue of Tobacco farmers =
not being paid up to two years since they sold their had earned produce bre=
aks my heart. I was able to experience the agony of these farmers who have =
worked so hard. These people have on numerous occasions gone to the centres=
to claim their money but many at times in vain. BAT does not even apprecia=
te the efforts of these farmers. These farmers are left to feel like beggar=
s begging for some free money from BAT when these people are demanding thei=
r hard earned money. Some of the people pay their children's school fees wi=
th that money and some of the kids may not attend or go to school because B=
AT has not paid their parents. I think it is high time we need to demonstra=
te to BAT that we shall not allow our people being treated like beggars any=
more when these people are demanding for their rightful wages.

=20

There are many issues to tackle but I will stop here for now.=20

Back to you Forum members=2C what do you say?

I thank you all=2C
