Bwanika,
In October 2010, there was a three days national joint sector review conference for the Water and Environment Ministry of Uganda. It was clear from the conference that the country has not yet realised the importance of forestry in the national economic and non-economic development arena despite the serious climate change and food insecurity situation in the country. The donors are equally lost!
The government does not consider the environment and natural resources sector a priority although they acknowledge that it is the base of the economy. The donors also say it is not their priority in their joint assistance framework for Uganda!
Secondly, all Africans who want to see socio-economic progress in real terms on this continent, need to start to initiate programmes and projects which focus on the entrepreneurial competences of the young professionals. But we need to network seriously and push the political leaders to prioritize all these matters.More efforts need to be put in mentoring and coaching the young professionals to become economic and social entrepreneurs so that they gain both employable and business skills especially after formal education. What I see is that governments and development partners emphasising welfare approach in Africa instead of productive socio-economic investment using the enterprise value chain approach.
Youth in Africa need not suffer from unemployment if all development organisations and government can start entrepreneurship coaching and mentoring programmes coupled with a strong culture of savings for investment, and venture capital, especially for natural resources based enterprises like herbal medicine, apiculture, food processing among others.
The Sudhirs dont care about us but themselves only. We all need to think critically on our commissions and omissions, so God help us!

Fellow Ugandans
The government of Uganda should stop it's double faced hypocrisy. If there is a class of people who are above the laws of Uganda that should clearly be stated in law books. It is clearly shown in the pictures attached, how the beach is thoroughly polluted. I saw pipes in the sand but could not determine whether they were depositing waste water or taking water from the Lake to the hotel. Of course Entebbe has piped water, so it will be equally illegal to get untreated water from the Lake to the hotel.
In the attached pictures, it is clearly shown how that hotel in Entebbe originally constructed by Dr. Sulaiman Kiguddu now owned by one of the powerful Uganda Indian has a terribly polluted beach. The hotel is fenced and the day I was at that hotel, I got access to the hotel by paying some money yet the law says we have free access to all Lake Victoria shores.
No one can even caution our people not to swim into such a polluted Lake – you can clearly see dead matter. What type of government do we have in this country? With the experience of Wakiso district officials illegally being stopped from discontinuing Sudhir's rape of Buganda wetlands - neither NEMA nor Uganda Environment police can do anything at all. One people two laws – that is Uganda today.
The Minister for environment ordered the cancelation of land titles in wetlands indeed.
For those who the bells toll………….

Hannah,
Have you drawn this to the attention of our comical duo Rose Birungi and Jabby? They will tell you instead that while perched on top of Kiggundu's hotel in Entebbe, they saw the waters of Lake Victoria split in the middle so that Uganda's long suffering people can be led to nirvana by the all-conquering hero, the saint like Yoweri Museveni. Just like in biblical times. The likes of Dan Bwanika are either dreamers or doom-sayers.
May be it is still possible to unclog entwistled mindsso as to reduce the savage pangs of intelligence shedding.
Who told you that cheer-leading is a noble, nay golden and venerated art? I can only imagine Birungi and Jabby going about their normal tasks as residents of Museveni's inner sanctum. Museveni is having his morning absolution, and having had his bum cleaned by Bujinja Ruzindana in the toilet, he then proceeds to the shower, backing orders on his mobile phone to Jabby, the servile and obedient personal secretary where Rose Birungi, his personal massause is waiting to give him an aromatic and relaxing shower as well as shave off his pubic hair to get rid of lice that have invaded it following a week's liaison with the state house maid. And Rose is very assiduos in her tasks; when the little boy shows flickers of life as she manouvres the blade around it, she gives it a sharp tick with her middle finger, hissing "stop it, you little boy, Janet might be peeping Tom on us". Standing outside at attention is Jabby, with towel and clean underpants flung across his shrunken shoulders. And that is life for the due-= another tick in the to do basket.
Meanwhile, scribes like Dan Bwanika and yourself are exposed daily to the ravages of a totalitarian fascist revanchism on the loose . Sadly, that is the state of Uganda we live in.
