Comments for Museveni misread the meter on the Ugandan economy at http://www.independent.co.ug , comment 1 to 4 out of 4 comments http://www.independent.co.ug Thu, 09 Feb 2012 06:15:03 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.independent.co.ug/column/comment/2166-museveni-misread-the-meter-on-the-ugandan-economy#comment-21849 Thanks for commenting on this mass de-agrarianization project of M7--any studies on the amount of private investment in Ugandan agriculture (not foreign private investors leasing large tracts of land for profit, but actual investment in the farmers themselves?) What kind of bargaining rights do farmers have? Are cooperatives back on now? I would be interested in comparing this to the development of SMEs in small towns and urbanization of Kampala.It would be worthwhile to note that this is not just an economic phenomenon, but a 'modernization' project that equates industrialization with all things good..and it is being instilled culturally in people. - Anneeth Mon, 30 Nov 2009 21:10:20 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/column/comment/2166-museveni-misread-the-meter-on-the-ugandan-economy#comment-21836 We should not blame the statistics given. They are correct except they are highly/disproportionately praised. What we need is not statistics in the first place. We need real development for all. All government energies should be turned against corruption so that all the well intended plans can lead to the desired goal or else government is throwing money in a bottomless pit. Government has tried to fund agriculture thru NAADS but the implementers are really having a field day with the loot. This war against corruption is tougher than the war against Kony! - Jonathan Kalani Mon, 30 Nov 2009 11:43:20 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/column/comment/2166-museveni-misread-the-meter-on-the-ugandan-economy#comment-21713 Good , as longer as m7 and his wife can begg for foof , agriculture can still be ignored , it wastes funds which can be used to create districts or buy nice cars for MPs and ministers who work so hard to see that uganda becomes an economic black-Tiger , the un-employed youth is the the blessing for uganda because this realy the middle class which means uganda is industrialising , if i can quote my dear leader , NAADs are hunger panels formed so that NRM cadres can get their hands on the funds and frastrate farmers so that farmers become RDCs ,Managers , hospital consultants and other service providers , army commanders or police commanders even prison wardens or even LCs , Uganda needs to bring services near to wanainchi ;D;D;D;) - Major Adam Kifaliso Wed, 25 Nov 2009 14:13:06 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/column/comment/2166-museveni-misread-the-meter-on-the-ugandan-economy#comment-21712 Good , as longer as m7 and his wife can begg for foof , agriculture can still be ignored , it wastes funds which can be used to create districts or buy nice cars for MPs and ministers who work so hard to see that uganda becomes an economic black-Tiger , the un-employed youth is the the blessing for uganda because this realy the middle class which means uganda is industrialising , if i can quote my dear leader , NAADs are hunger panels formed so that NRM cadres can get their hands on the funds and frastrate farmers so that farmers become RDCs ,Managers , hospital consultants and other service providers , army commanders or police commanders even prison wardens or even LCs , Uganda needs to bring services near to wanainchi ;D;D;D;) - Major Adam Kifaliso Wed, 25 Nov 2009 14:12:53 +0100
