I commend members for current rejuvenated efforts. Had this happened earlier on, with current critical mass, we would have created the kind of politics built around issues unlike the previous ones that tend to thrive on ignorance of the people as Sam and Anguzu rightly put it. I would have been happier than I'm now if the questions being asked were raised by our brothers and sisters at grassroots. I still find the question of what a candidate can do for the people a ‘top down’ approach. I’m praying for a day when this can be a ‘bottom-up’ or two way. Many will agree with me, the disunity we suffer today is as a result of our needs being perceived from up. It's the same conclusion researchers of small start-up failures have arrived at. They argue that most entrepreneurs tend to concentrate on which product they think works out rather actual demands of the market. The end result is always a product that doesn’t meet needs of the people hence failure of the entity. I hope my view will not be looked as derailment but rather advocacy voice to awareness goal already perceived by many others.
What will i do for the people? Though the i still thing the ideal case should been what the people want me to do for them, as an aspiring FDC candidate for Maracha and a concerned member of this forum, I won’t hesitate to restate issues of extreme poverty, declining academic performance, food insecurity, youth unemployment, poor health and sanitation I have always written about. I’m sure our archives will bear me witness! These issues are not mere dreams but represent anguish of our people. Because they perfectly fit into the millennium challenges, we stand to open doors for increased human development index in West Nile by confronting them. Recognizing that nobody has lone answers to these questions; aware of the mainly legislative roles MPs play under the multiparty dispensation, my approach to development will be two phased. At National level, I foresee myself rally behind laws that boom investment opportunities and guarantee social security to the poor. Seeking amendment to Tobacco Act of 1967 will be top on my agenda and I think it should be one of our preconditions for votes alongside infrastructural development and rehabilitation of railway and satellite infrastructure. It's also my desire to push for increments in budgetary allocations to key sectors of the economy such agric which i believe are crucial for our agric-driven economy. I also think replacing patriotism with national services will save us 50billion each year. Lobbying for local content policy in exploration of our resources such as oil is something i will highly endorse. I see myself support attempts to create affordable health insurance programmes that guarantee enhanced heath care delivery to the poor. At micro level, our approaches are as contained in the attachment. However, i have these questions to ask: What should any elected government do us anyway? What happens if there is no positive response? How prepared are we as a region for Public Private Partnerships? My condolences to all bereaved families.
