THE RIDDLE OF PRIVATE IS BETTER!!


Most of us are more likely to chose private over public
 If you live along Jinja highway and you have been observant, am sure you have noticed that 8 of the 10 sirens belong to the ambulances. Surprisingly we have more “private or donated by” ambulances than the entire government has provided.

These days its very common to find our hospitals and health centers occupying the best buildings yet lack basic requirements to treat minor infections hence giving referrals to private clinics and pharmaceutical shops which are adequately facilitated....Private is better.

 Recently the government decided that this country should be filled with scientists therefore enforcing science subjects on every male and female that decided to enroll for the local curriculum. The amazing thing is that public or government schools lack the facilities to make sure that this directive is successful. As a matter of fact am yet to find a fully public school that embarrasses me with good performance...Private is better.

The government is also a firm believer that “Private is better” That is why they thought that Uganda Electricity Board(U.E.B)- a national utility enterprise will be managed better by a private non utility company (UMEME).

That is why they thought that the aviation industry was better off minus a national carrier, believing that private airlines will do that job better.

That is why public buses or passenger railway wagons are no more and the burden to sort it out has been given to Rift Valley Railways, UTODA or Pioneer, all private companies....Private is better.

 Private security companies transport our monies, guard our banks, man our properties including government premises. Our national bank was disposed off to foreign private bank, our collateral and cash is kept in private banks, we educate our children in private schools and we go to private clinics and hospitals......Private is better.

Before it became an authority, Kampala City Council used to hire private contractors to maintain the roads though they had all the equipment rotting in the store.....Private is better.

Non Government Organisations (N.G.Os) are everywhere, some look after the widows, some promote good hygiene, others take our orphans to school, they feed the hungry, we have trusted some with our marital issues....Private is better

Soon we will have an Alternative Private Parliament for the People of Uganda, Private Association Against Fake Goods, Private cooperation fighting errant drivers and road accidents and I cant rule out private companies merging to form a National Private Defence Army or Private Nationwide Police Force.

 Why.....  Because we have been made to believe that “PRIVATE IS BETTER”..

Can social distancing prevent the spread COVID-19 in Uganda?

Source: Petrol/CanStockPhoto In a country where most people live hand to mouth, and most business rely on daily consumer spend, advising people to stay home isn't viable. The brutal truth about social distancing is that people will loose wages and jobs. This will change the course of their lives in a traumatic way. We need to be able to sacrifice for each other, not only for the people who are vulnerable to Coronavirus but also to the people who maybe hurt and lose their livelihood as a result of social distancing. To some people losing their only source of survival is death in itself. Limiting social, prayer and political gathering to only 10 people while Owino, Kikuubo, Nakasero market, Nasser road and taxi parks(the most crowded places in Uganda) remain open is counter productive and defeats the understanding of many. It's similar to leaving your clothes in the dirt to dry after washing. And am not saying that these places should be closed, just pointing to the fla...

FROM ISLAM TO CHRISTIANITY: MY STORY OF COURAGE AND BOLDNESS

Every decision has consequences. Be aware! I knew it that once I take this path, questions will be raised and answers must be given. I was aware that people would be hurt, trust will get wings and takeoff, and relationships will break. I knew it for sure. Being a guy who also knew the impact of the statement "with time", I was sure that things would be normal again and acceptance would be preached after healing (which comes with time) has happened. Well I was dead wrong. Seven years on, nothing has changed much. It just takes me back to Easter Sunday of 2007 the day I made a decision that still hurts people up to now. It’s on this day, with a sound mind that I CHOOSE TO INVITE Jesus Christ in my life. A day before, I had mobilized and promised my pals that we would go to a drinking and a clubbing spree on Easter night. When I broke the news to my pals that the program was off because it was not in line with my new lifestyle, they were very disappointed. ...

FACE TO FACE WITH A PROMINENT WITCH

Going south  Early this month, I had planned a journey east across the country with a pal. It was for business and pleasure. If you asked what happened, instead I found myself to a journey this time, south of the country not even a thought ever occurred to me that I would be going to this part of the country not until later this year. I believe that it was divine though the actual cause of this sudden journey was very unfortunate. To me, it was attending the burial of my 4 months old nephew who had perished in an accident but to God it was an opportunity to minister His unfailing/ unconditional love to the people of that community. God guided me to free his people from the devil Many of them were hurt and angry with God, some were in total despair, a considerable number was sick while most of them were eager and hungry to hear the word of God. There was only one pastor who had been forced into compromise by a prominent witch. This witch comma...
