Itโs either our very leaders are delusional or simply lack political will to do the needful!
Anyway what to do when those with ideas have no power and those with power are completely green! About what to do! What a paradox!
But donโt forget fate is a double crosser!!!!!!!
If you can allocate over 10Bn Ugx for some company to teach Ugandans how to drink coffee! And you canโt appropriate money for a group that is centrally the engine of our healthcare system! Mukisusa!

@newvisionwire Then let the internship be scrapped! How can you expect a person to work for free for a whole year?
An alternative should be to make it 1-2months .
If the numbers are high, why are we still grappling with understaffing in hospitals?
These issues need to be addressed!
It's hard for me to explain to those outside #Uganda just how irritated the Ugandans are to be lumped in with DRC for the #Ebola epidemic. As of this writing, there have been hundreds of deaths and over 1000 cases in Congo, whereas Uganda has had only 9 cases -- three Congolese, four medical workers who treated them, one driver who drove them, and one other known contact. Only one person has died in Uganda, a Congolese.
So when WHO and Al Jazeera talks about the Ebola epidemic in "Congo and Uganda," it's like saying because there are wildfires in California, you should cancel a trip to the Grand Canyon because some Californians lit a campfire there. Yes, it is possible it *could* spread and you have to be vigilant, but these two situations are nowhere near the same magnitude.
As of this writing, the only Ugandan death has been the tourism industry.
