“There is no country in this world where citizens block government from running its projects,” President Museveni is quoted as having said.
For whom are those government projects?
And, what happened to the democratic ideal of “government of the people, by the people for the people?”
The right of Ugandans to “block government from running its projects” is enshrined in the Constitution and it is those rights that are wanted removed from the Constitution, as proposed in Bill 133 of 2017 Amending Article 26.
If they are government projects, then within democratic ideals those projects are automatically the people’s projects.
In which regard, according to the Constitution of Uganda, the people have a say on government projects, including blocking them, if the people so determine that those projects run counter to the people’s interests.
If a government project deprives Ugandan farmers of their land, for example, surely Ugandan farmers should have the right to fight back in order to ensure that they do not lose their land on which they depend for their livelihoods.
If they must cede their land for the greater good, provisions for alternative land and or livelihoods should be made for them.
“Land theft and human plunder cleared the grounds for Trump’s forefathers and barred others from it,” Ta-Nehesi Coates writes about the United States of America.
Trump’s forefathers did the same in Africa. Land theft and human plunder.
It is troubling that President Museveni is canvassing Uganda’s countryside with the seeming intent to secure Uganda’s land for foreign investors.
“When I talk of modernizing agriculture, I mean ensuring that the farmers are taught how to use their land optimally.” President Museveni in his book “Sowing the Mustard Seed”, page 201.
“They (politicians) tell lies and scare away investors,” President Museveni is quoted as having said.
But who really is telling lies about Uganda’s land?
Who are those investors?
Why do they scare so easily if they are above board?
