@KagutaMuseveni Thank you for your guidance Mr President. Indeed these are great points and these policies ought to be given the attention they deserve.

However, the most imminent and deadly earthquakes to befall Uganda are political. These need your attention and priority.

@ona_nky Freedom is binding. When you’re in a room and the door is open, you don’t care about it. When someone closes it, you feel the urge to get out fast. Indiscipline in most kids is actually a natural way of pushing back on strict parents. It’s literally a fight for freedom.

@PeaceVictoria1 @mtnug There is a weird explanation they give for that. I bugged a call center girl until she sent me 1k from her personal line because I was not satisfied with the explanation and she couldn’t answer my questions any further 😂😂😂

BUSINESS PERSONS vs BLACK TAX

One thing many business persons don’t talk about yet they struggle with is actually black tax.

Not everybody but many people out there assume business people have so much idle money which should be handed out.

The truth is whenever you see a real business person, pray for them because they have simply developed thick skins but struggle with a lot.

Am business person and I meet many business people who I often a get chance to have heart to heart business challenges.

One of the biggest threats for Ugandan owned businesses is black tax and contributes a lot to gap that exists between foreign owned businesses and local owned ones.

I have been to public offices where someone will help a foreign person not you but when they get a problem, they won’t run the foreign business person, they will seek help from you who they didn’t help.

A Ugandan business person is born in a large family, has a large pool of friends and associates with a big number with a lot of expectations of who they see as successful.

I for example belong to many groups as well which means there are calls for financial help, I probably see or receive a minimum of 20 per day.

Someone either needs school fees, someone has died, or sick, a wedding, graduation, charity this or that and all those require money.

Sometimes when someone has passed on and I say I will send what would have been my fuel and other expenses, some people will say why didn’t come as well?

Yes, when time and resources allows I can do both but rear, sometimes it’s 3 directions and it’s hard to choose, what about work? If you know many people, it’s even harder.

I always observe when I have contributed say ushs 100k to a challenge, some people get so shocked, only ushs 100k, especially those who contribute nothing

They most times they don’t know you have had to contribute to 10 challenges that day and figures add up so quickly. If you contributed ushs 100k to 20 challenges, that’s ushs 2m.

A business person has loans, suppliers, his personal dreams, family, some extended family members, salaries, taxes( many taxes) on their heads, they just don’t shout about these challenges.

HOW TO MANAGE!

I for example earn a monthly salary from my work place or places, they are the hand that feeds me and hundreds more and that salary is mainly for immediate family.

I have some small incomes on the side once in a while, it’s from that that I often sort out some of black tax challenges but I fight hard not cut off the hand that feeds me which is business.

Businesses support the work of Great Lakes foundation, amongst them are 2 hospitality training centers, pay fees and other things.

From my salary I plan for the rainy days as well because those days come to everyone and that’s means you won’t see me in those spending environments in nights. I have had expensive medical needs but discipline has helped me cover them.

I have also learnt to say no and still have a good night sleep, I struggled with that earlier in the business life and I almost closed business because I would give out business money to things that have nothing to do with it.

Those days, a guy would turn up and say I know you are busy, send me to the accountant, I would stupidly do that. They would inform another and before you know it, things are heading south.

I have also learnt to study situations before I commit to them, I will contribute to school fees if I have a plan to maintain paying. If I don’t have a plan I just say nope!

@AAAlhaji21 @Omojuwa We need to determine the definition of the ‘Team’ as per this provision. You realize they didn’t say players, or part of the team. In that case, if there was any member of the the ‘team’ on the ground, it should be deemed the team was present and this doesn’t apply
