There is no 28billion to pay intern doctors in the budget Museveni is presenting today, no 8billion for UNEB to train teachers on how to mark new syllabus, no 3.5billion to complete new syllabus but there is 211billion for welfare and entertainment for big people, 536 billion for special meals and drinks for big people, 196 billion for big people to donate, 17 billion for firewood, gas and charcoal and 2.6 trillion for classified expenditure!
As a journalist, I have had to listen to boring Museveni speeches for 13 years, and as an MP for 15 years and because I am invited on TVs and radios, this burden is not about to go away. Immagine this afternoon he is wondering why Ugandans go for kyeyo in Dubai which Amin gave food during his reign. According to the 2024 population census, 20 million of the 46 million Ugandans are food insecure, 5.6 million homes still sleeping in one room house, 28 million people using firewood as main source of energy and 14 million people about 31% of the population don’t have two sets of clothes. The economy he has built for 41 years cannot employ 1.7 million people with degrees, diplomas and certificates!
This demonstrates the damage that some people cause to others online, just to get a little ‘food’. The person on camera represents the rest of us who simply look on or share toxic stuff for likes.
