I always have may comments reserved on this issue of the districts but what I have to tell the people of WestNile; in particular Maracha and Terego is that,We should not block our development on Ideologies, minds and Philosophy of Politicians who have a short-term interests of gluing on power but rather find the hidden beauty of our rich history of co-existence so that we may not mislead the current generation into more suffering. Enjoy your weekend

First pound farmers with current starving hunger in the entire region and other easy problems they can understand. but do not forget using flyers and billboard messages. if it mean more lobbying support the women fight against Tobacco world health organization department. These guys will never go for free believe me if we are united to work on that. After all we have good number of health workers they need to play more role than other advocates.

Thanks to Caleb and the team for taking this up and Lee who has taken the lead. I find it annoying when the continental manager says, the farmers will be the loosers if they dont accept their terms. This is just to creat fear in the farmers. If the farmers refuse to grow tobacco then what happens to continental. Whoever is dealing with these farmers should help them know that there are better alternatives to tobacco growing. And this is why I thought advocacy along side this case would be an added advantage. Because this particular case may be won but the main issues will still remain.

Teachers' salaries are too low , paid often late. Many teachers are almost giving up their jobs because they have to feed their families. Government should focus on improving the condition of teachers in order to improve performance in schools. - Poor performance in schools dues to lack of basic necessities, over crowding. If the teacher pupil ratio is 70/teacher or 80/teacher or 90/teacher, how can teachers help children who are week in class or have learning disabilities? - Unfair marketing practices by the tobacco companies which exploit farmers for their produce, transporting farmers in lorries, which are unsafe for any public transport. One can quote the accident that happned last year where several farmers died and yet their families were not compensated. This situation has gone unchallenged for several decades. - Lack of electricity leading to poor development of cottage industries that could create jobs for people in the region. - High unemployment rate in the region or Uganda for that matter. May be government should facilitate or focus on improving the private sector in order to create jobs. Recruit and train young men and women with skills to own and run small bsuinesses.
