Government of Uganda employs about 480,000 civil servants. There are other public servants not under civil service like the UPDF & agencies that support civil service.
All these make government employ less than a million people. Weβre 50m Ugandans with 1.8-2m young people between 18-30 years old unemployed, while nearly 45-49% are categorized as NEET( Not in Education, Employment or Training).
Youβre at home & itβs been years expecting to join civil service. Come on. Create your own job.
Supply something to those in the civil service. It could be food items or dry ration or window curtains. Put a washing bay somewhere.
Do online trade. Big people donβt go down town. Take shoes, undershirts, underwear to them.
I have never seen salons & barbershops near government agencies. Why? Put an executive hair saloon near a ministry headquarters.
Deal in agro-based produce. Farmers are stick with produce. Find some market & do food supply chain management.
Stand in the gap as middlemen & earn. Buy the coffee. Supply it. Buy hides & skins of cows & goats slaughtered in towns & villages. Dry them & supply to the Basajja Balabas of this world.
You can earn better than those occupying government jobs. Business needs connections. Yes. Not based on tribe, education, religion, or region. The language of business is profits.
I know you will ask me about capital. Where do you get millions you lay to people to connect you to government jobs? Go to cozy restaurants & bars. Itβs young unemployed or semi-employed that spend millions a week there.
Open your eyes please! You donβt need a government job to live well & better. You need your brains to work. Many of those who worked in government till retirement, go home with nothing. They live a very lonely & poor lives. Is that what you aspire to be?
Zukuka. Zibuka. Wake up!
