@mkainerugaba On this great day when we conquered Kampala, we didn’t just take a city — we took a step into our destiny. The streets echoed with our purpose, our unity, and our unwavering belief that the CDF can move mountains. History will remember this day.

UGANDA's MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT EARNINGS: Perhaps better to begin by mentioning these facts: UGANDA has 550 MPs, could be 600+ soon, with new, really almost NON,-FUNCTIONAL POLITICAL CITIES, DIVISIONS and MUNICIPALITIES; with a Population of 45million; and land area of 241,038sq km; and the United States of America with Population of 340m; a size 9.867,000m sq km(40+ times than that of Uganda) and with a GDP OF $30 trillion to Uganda's $55bn has 535 MPs(Members of Congress- 100 Senators and 435 Representatives). And this what a Ugandan MP earns: MP is given Shs 200,000,000M= for a new Car; he receives 31,000,000M= Fuel Allowance monthly; receives 20,000,000M= Constituency Support fee monthly(but the 24 mps of Bugisu can't even Support that Nurse Nambozo, climbing Mt. Elgon like a lizard!); 2,000,000m= Monthly as Town running Allowance; gets 6,500,000= Monthly Salary; gets TRAVEL allowances for INLAND and ABROAD, they TREAT themselves ABROAD when they get SICK, and spend a billion to bury each who dies....etc! ++++! So for a poor country like uganda, which depends on charities from Bill Gates for Malaria treatment and vaccines, and USAID for HIV/AIDS; and European Union grants to pay for Roads and Schools, How can we afford this? HOW CAN THIS BE OKAY? Just asking like an Ordinary Man!
Stop building mansions in the village mbu retirement home!
You and I know you like the city too much, you are not retiring in the village, away from your golf course, away from all the fancy dinners at Serena. Away from all your friends who live in Kampala.
You don’t even know anyone in Kanungu anymore, all the guys you grew up with are working in Kampala, Nairobi and other cities all over the world. The only two people you know there are your parents.
When you are older, the need for quality healthcare also increases, and you don’t want to be 600Kms away from Kampala hospital relying on an understaffed health centre IV with no ambulance and a faulty generator when you get a heart complication at 4:00AM.
Also, to maintain your lifestyle (the golfing, the travels, latest cars, your wife’s shopping sprees in Dubai) you need to have a stable income, just like your job gave you. And nope, don’t jump into farming or business. My guy, you have been an IT guy all your life and now you want to get all your NSSF to start a chicken farm at 55.😳 Mbu you want to build rentals in Kireka managed by your unemployed son (the one who barely finished s6 but knows all the bars on Acacia and Bandali rise)🤣🤣 dey play.
If you already have a mansion in the village. Yes, the one you only use once a year for 2 weeks in December. Sell it today and invest in semi liquid and liquid assets like bonds or a good unit trust fund. You’ll get a stable income while your premium stays intact.
Also, ba mzeyi please stop lying to yourselves that your kids currently studying in the USA and Japan will come back and stay in your village mansions when you die. Most times, kids who study abroad build their own lives abroad. The best they will do for you is return home to sell the mansion and then go back.
And now my baganda brothers and sisters. Stop buying too much land. If you are 70 years old and need emergency surgery in India, the land can’t get sold fast enough. Or you’ll sell it at a loss.
Most of you my people are asset rich and cash poor. Why do you have a networth of 2 Billion shs all in land. 🧐 That is primitive accumulation of wealth. Diversify. Have hard assets but also semi liquid and liquid (An asset which can give you emergency money in less than 24 hours.)
So, please sell that mansion on a hill in Kanungu and thank me later.
