On Tuesday 11 April 2023, Uganda’s president Gen. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni Tibuhaburwa told revealed to that public through his tweeter that;
The mabaati story was the work of the whistle-blowers and the State House Anti-corruption Unit.
He continued by saying that “I am considering another Anti-corruption Unit in State House to only deal with Village issues. The present one has got involved, positively, in broader issues.
The issue of corruption, is a “musota muntamu” -the removing of the snake from the clay cooking pot without breaking the pot. The NRM has handled bigger issues.
That is why Uganda no longer has a refugee problem. Everybody knows that he cannot be falsely accused and even the ones who are accused, are safe in custody.
Therefore, some Game Wardens have failed themselves and become poachers, but the system is working.
All these layers- District Councils, Parliament, Resistance Councils (LCs), Public Barazas, were put there deliberately by us on account of what we have been witnessing since the colonial times – officials betraying the People. If one layer does not work, the other one will.
Mr. Museveni also tweeted on the other of commercialization of Agriculture that, With General Saleh’s intervention, only 39% are the ones still outside the money economy.
Why do political, cultural, spiritual, etc. leaders, who have heard of what has been going on in the World in the last 600 years, since the Renaissance in Europe, keep quiet on such an issue? Ever since 1995, the NRM has been shouting about this as follows: “Every holder of agricultural land join the commercial agriculture, with ekibaro (cura).
” There are about 9 million families in Uganda. Assuming 7 million of them have, at least, one acre for agriculture and, according to what is already happening on the ground, a small commercial farm for dairy, piggery, poultry, fish-farming, etc., is employing 10 persons, the total jobs thus created are 70 million, bigger than the population of Uganda.
This is before you add on the jobs of factories, services and ICT. Therefore, the problem is not jobs, but a wrong attitude. When people go abroad to kukuba kyeyo there, why not do it here? Why don’t those who are more informed, concentrate on this message of converting all families into money making families with ekibaro?
