Habibi, if I were in charge of govt, I’d disband the vanity fair called @KiiraMotors, get in touch with the company producing these simple tractors from China, and redirect the funds from Kiira EV, and all funds from PDM into mass-producing these. Then sell them to Ugandan farmers at a very affordable price - cheaper than a boda - to make them available, & affordable to as many farmers as possible.

For an agricultural nation already earning billions of dollars from coffee exports, these things, in hands of hundreds of tens or hundreds of thousands of our farmers would see our exports skyrocket within a decade. If done well, Ugandans would make a lot of money in exports, and many more people would see reason to get into Agriculture - where we have a competitive advantage in the region.

A whole department at @Makerere’s CEDAT would be dedicated to studying them. Every malfunction would be studied for months to improve them, and we’d invest in making their production ever cheaper. We’d even study different agricultural products and how to make them best adapted to their production. Rice, Matooke, cotton, sugar cane etc. We’d also improve them based on terrain, one model would be great for the hills of Kapchorwa, another for the dry areas of Karamoja, another for the cold hills of Kabale. With time, we’d be exporting these to Kenya, Tanzania, DRC etc and earning extra billions in Forex in addition to agricultural exports.

In twenty or so years, we’d have the money, expertise, and technical knowledge to make bigger tractors, even the kind adapted for making our roads, and building serious projects in Uganda. Who knows, maybe we can then get to a point of making electric buses from
Scratch in 50 years when we can ably compete with Isuzu, Scania, and others. After all, every single car company started very small - something Kiira EV wants us to believe it will not do, then compete even when almost all Auditor General reports show it is nothing but a thorn on the side of taxpayers. A big, white elephant.

To fellow men, allow me to share a few thoughts this morning. Stay with me till the end. And add some more that I can learn from you, too.

Most men lose in relationships because they fight like victims.

You don’t resolve conflict by being “nice.”

You win by mastering control—of yourself and the frame.

Here's how real men handle conflict in the digital age .👇🏾

*MESSAGE ON UCDA BY DR. EZRA SURUMA*

_Let me hope our President and MPs can read this with understanding and in good faith_

👇👇

Good evening Hon. Ahabwe. I agree with you that there are indeed many things we do not understand. My understanding of “Rationalization “ of government agencies is to cut costs.

Yet when we proposed Uganda Coffee Development Authority (UCDA) in 1990 we provided a revenue source for it so that it would not need money from the government.

We recommended what we called a “cess”, that is a small service charge of 1 per cent on coffee exports to cater for UCDA’s administrative expenditures. This recommendation was approved by the government so UCDA never needed money from the government.

I think the problem may have come when the cess was increased to 2%. When the cess increased, the UCDA started getting more money which attracted government attention.

This came at a time when coffee production was increasing so much that the cess revenue became big! The ministry of finance decided to take all the cess and UCDA became another agency needing money from government!

This may be the fatal mistake that UCDA made. Instead of lowering the cess now that coffee exports were increasing, they raised it and collected huge amounts of money.

Now government has taken over those revenues and decided to make UCDA another department in the Ministry of agriculture.

This reminds me of privatization.
In 1987, the foreign supporters of privatization recommended that we either dissolve or sell all government banks. They said our banks were unprofitable and insolvent (bankrupt).

I fought to restore Uganda Commercial Bank to profitability until we turned it around and returned it to profitability as it had always been since 1965 when it was created. When we succeeded in making it profitable the neocolonialists said it would now get a better price.

So You can see that I had not understood that the reasons they were giving for dissolving and privatizing our banks were deliberately misleading.

THEY WERE NOT TELLING US THE TRUTH OF THEIR INTENTIONS.

In the case of UCDA clearly the problem is not cost because with the huge growth in coffee exports a cess of even 0.25% of exports would cover its requirements for supervision of the quality of our coffee exports; promoting coffee research and promoting increased production.

In all the countries we visited (Costa Rica, Columbia, Madagascar) to learn about the best coffee export practices, they all had an autonomous coffee export institution.

For anyone who has engaged in coffee export in Uganda or knows anything about coffee exports, it is frightening to imagine exporters looking everywhere for absentee bureaucrats often scattered anywhere in a “department” in the ministry of agriculture.

Ask people who tried to get photo sanitary certificates from the ministry of agriculture recently and how they fared.
Ideally one wishes this matter could be put on a referendum so that the population can decide.

The most efficient services come from specialized institutions whose knowledge and expertise takes many decades to learn and achieve.

I can’t Imagine for example, making Mulago hospital a department in the ministry of health or Makerere a department in the ministry of education!

The low quality of service delivery in many government departments deserve improvement not additional work.

Throwing away institutions like paper towels is so very difficult to understand. As you say, it is truly a conundrum.
Oh Uganda, may God uphold thee
We lay our future in thy hand.
