Father Rofino, Thank you for keeping the fire burning on the issue of the pastoralists. I feel we haven't realised the real gravity of this looming crises. Am glad you know some of the strategies they are using to make the issue even more difficult to deal with. I may not be old enough to know all the marriage traditions of the people of West Nile. But when i was growing up marriage was a communal event and not a person selfish economic venture where you mortgage the future of an entire society for fifty thousand shillings as some reports seem to imply our LCs are doing. A marriage where some one uses their doughter to bring calamity on the entire community must be condemned and such a person subjected to panel of elders who have lived long enough to sense calamity by their nose. For sure we must rise up and defend West Nile no matter the price. Enough shoyld be enough!

RE: [WestNileNet] Re: West Nile Chamber of Coomerce
Ocatre, Hmnn! So what exactly is this "change in land use". Dots of houses on 25decimal pieces to be sold with(out) proposals - and rushed for? Or any grand plan in the vision of Council? Any graphical perspective of this vision if any? Any idea that the change will bring major transformation in the value of Arua Municipal - economically while increasing the beauty of it or attraction thereof? Any opportunity for the public to see graphically or the wriitten of the proposed change for suggestions? Any idea of disposal procedures for this facility for development - based on proposals to be presented /vetted or will it be the usually "sketch an area and draw lines/boundaries" and allocate? Not a physical or urban planner but if given chance would say any attempt to degazette this area should give Arua a true beautiful green commercial environ, in which case proposals with threshold that meet the criteria of taxable economic, green and scenenically attractive sense are prioritised.

First and foremost, Arua Municipal council was requested to provide and alternative site if Barifa has to be degazetted. To this effect they have made significant strides and have found the alternative in Logiri that used to be part of Mr.Oguda's farm in Kaza. Further Municipal council need to show evidence that they have purchased the land and they have the title which they are currently following up with surveys department in Entebbe. EIAs have to be done for both sites. What wsa submitted as EIA for Barifa was a rapid assessement and this is yet to be completed with attaching the physical planning for thedevelopment of the area. Barifa stadium will not be affected and will be developed into a modern stadium hopefully. Besides not all of the trees will be cleared because part of the recommendation is to leave some sections especially along Asa river as required by national regulations. I may not be an authority and can not speak for Arua Municipal council but I have some ideas on that. Hope this will throw some light.

However, I may be wrong, but I think Barifa was a Forest Reserve (perhaps with the alarming deforestation in the region, the trees may all be gone), and I believe Barifa was (is - not sure) also the location for our district sports activities (soccer and athletics field which has produced likes of Ayikoru, Govule, Evelyn Adiru, Inzikuru and others I may not have mentioned to national and international athletes which I thought was a very positive national and international image of our sons and daughters. Now when the talk of Barifa land for housing development arises, I am wondering and asking myself which Barifa folks are talking about. In my two unsure assumptions are correct, we have a conflicting land-use issue to address as regards Barifa land. We equally need to protect our green vegetation to reduce land degradation as we equally need a housing estate. On the other hand we equally need to develop our sports and athletics facility for the future generation because economic development must go hand in hand with human development, and sports and athletics is very essential in developing the human body and mind. Mind you there days sports is an industry which if developed carefully is very lucrative in economic returns. So my wonder is has the Mayor (town council) or the (district council) done any land-use assessment and plan of the town or area for pro

Re: [WestNileNet] koboko school closed
Hello friends and OBs. Sorry that I took time to link up on this innovative communication channel. I have loved the interest so far generated by this particular medium and I would very much encourage that we use it for the development of this country. The experiences and news that you have shared clearly point to a major causative agent(s), that if not confronted now, define a clear case of diminishing returns to our great region and this country. The stories and news are welcome in that they help galvanize us for action. But what we need is less talk and more ACTION. While we might have constraints, we should not fail in resolve. Remember what our parents and elders told us? 'Whenever there is a will, there is a WAY'. Hey, fellows, lets ACT! What does the Bible say? ''God will only help those who help themselves"(Excuse me if I got a wrong quote, BUT,don't crucify the messenger for the message). Hey, Lets ACT!!!. ' YES, WE CAN'!

[WestNileNet] Re: The Closing of the School in Koboko
Mr Onzu, is absolutely right to have closed the school if all the reasons I have read in this forum led him to conclude the school closure. Schools are not meant to be entertainment places, though occassionally students in a school need some entertainment. schools are not night clus nor drinking joints. Although the number of school of schools in an area may be important aspect of education considering the ever increasing population, I think the quality of the school including the infrasctrure in the schools, level of teacher qualification and the general atmosphere in the school contributes to whether students learn or not. Education in Uganda has become like any of the local businesses the local people do, however, because the school owners are only looking at the money, they have no regard to provide the right services and environment for learning. These are one of the reasons why there is poor performance in out schools. Such schools deserve to be closed and the school proprietor punished for misleading the public, parents and the children who otherwise were interested in learning. We rather have few reputable schools than many junk schools.

[WestNileNet] Re: The Issue of Documenting the ideas, suggestions and views in The WestNile Net Forum
Hello Gentlemen, The idea of documenting the the points of discussion in this forum is a very good idea. It is my view that Joel has accepted the responsibility to do the documentation. In the issue of WestNileNet Digest, Vol 8, Issue 100, Joel has raised some issues which need to be addressed before he can formally begin the process of documenting key points of the discussions. I think the issues Joel raised in his communication to the WestNileNet need to be addressed by the community and a clear direction needs to be provided for Joel to proceed. However, before such a clear direction is provided to Joel, in the WestNileNet Digest, Vol 8, Issue 101, I have read Johns suggestions of what Joel could probably do and how he should compile the issue and send them to the local officials. While I commend the suggestion for being proactive in terms of communicating with the local officials, I tend to think that it is premature for us to begin to think of such because I think that is exposing Joel to the vagaries of politics which we should all be aware and cautious about. I think we first need to establish a well planned system of the documentation first based on what our expectations are and also the issues Joel raised. Then also establish a well planned mechanism of how and to whom the documentation(s) will be disseminated, it which case some adjustments will have to be done to the documents to suit the purposes for which they are disseminated and the respective people to whom the documents are sent. To already suggest to Joel to begin documenting the points of discussion and forward the issues to the local official is premature and will most likely put Joel in some kind of problems with the local officials which we should encourage. I think we seriously need to get back to the drawing board and address the mechanisms of how we shall do this documentation. Sometime back I had made suggestions that we need to agree on a particular topic of discussion, and then select a moderator for the topic. We also need to establish a time limit for such a discussion and then compile the salient points of the discussion and write a summary report of the discussion. When we all review the summary points and agree that the information documented is indeed the views we expressed, then and only then We can discuss how and to whom we need to disseminate the information. We were able to quickly form a task force for the education issue without any hassles because I believe that was an issue which touched everyone's heart. We need to feel the same way for all these problems we have to discuss, for example the Barifa Land issue, the Matego District, the migration of Balalo in West Nile where there are no grazing Lands, Environmental degradation, the energy (electricity) shortages in West Nile, moving the Prisons from its location to another area, etc just to mention a few. A lot of the issues we have so discussed on this forum are indeed very crucial but have been incomplete, which I believe is because we have not really been well organized to plan such. We have a lot of excellent realistic and intellectual discussions which we need to synthesize into actionable objectives. Planning! Planning and being organized in what we want to do is key to the success of this community forum since there are diverse views from various people scattered globally.

Hello,
kadara kursum is suggesting the following article from http://www.arabnews.com:
Nursing forum emphasizes quality care
Sultan Altamimi | Arab News
JEDDAH: The King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center (KFSH&RC) in
Jeddah concluded its 4th Nursing Conference this week.
The conference hosted more than 30 guest speakers from Saudi Arabia, the United
States, UK, Sweden, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Oman, Yemen, South Africa, Tunisia
and several other countries. Around 350 nurses attended the conference to
further their knowledge about the profession and meet with their counterparts
from around the world.
The quality of bedside care dominated the lectures and workshops throughout the
entire conference.
"Advanced nursing practice is a global phenomenon that provides a means of
retaining experienced practitioners to give direct care to patients," said
Paula McGee, one of the speakers.
"The advanced practitioner's transformational leadership skills facilitate
transparency in clinical decision making and creating an ethical working
environment," she said.
"The KFSH&RC has been the leader within the nursing community in Jeddah since
its opening in the year 2000," said Sandy Lovering, chief of nursing affairs at
the hospital. "It is therefore our mission and obligation to this community to
be a leader in nursing management, clinical practice and education. We want to
share our resources and provide a forum for nurses to share their knowledge and
expertise," she said.
The conference emphasized on the quality of patient care and focused on the
clinical practice, management and leadership.

The Big Question: Who was St George, and why is celebrating him so contentious?
By Andy McSmith
Why are we asking this now? Today is St George's Day and, rather unusually, a
mainstream politician has identified himself with making this a day for
celebrating the glory. Up to now, the only politicians promoting St George's
memory have been too far out on the fringes to be taken...

leNet] Fwd: Documentation of Ideas discussed in the Forum Begin forwarded message: From: Vasco Oguzua Date: April 21, 2009 12:18:21 AM GMT+03:00 To: westnilenet-ow...@kym.net Subject: Documentation of Ideas discussed in the Forum Ataanzi dika vini Ataaezo, I think the suggestion of documenting the salient points of the discussions we have on the forum Ronald Okuonzi is a great idea. Infact one of our sisters had already suggested this idea sometime back early March if I am not mistaken. I commend Joel Arumadri Alimo'dua for accepting the challenge to document some of the key ideas and/or suggestions. However, based on my observations on the nature and kind of the discussions we have on the forum, other than the issue of Poor Performance in our schools, non of the other issues we have discussed on the forum was ever conclusive. To our advantage, the poor performance in our schools issue coincided with or was within the time frame of the Ombaci (and I believe Mvara) Old Boys reunion occasion(s), as such that issue was addressed formally during those function(s) (if I am not mistaken someone can correct me on this). Documenting the discussion on the forum will not be an an easy task who Arumadri. The difficulty I express in in terms of my observation of the various issues we discuss almost at the same time and we never have a conclusive discussion on the issues we have discussed. The examples being, the Matego district issue, the loss of our brother in the hand of URA Officers in Koboko, the Barifa Land issue. In my view there was never a conclusive discussion on these issues we have discussed at length on the forum. To make the documentation of the discussions easier for documentation, I would like to suggest that for every issue or concern introduced in the forum for discussion, there should be a moderator who follows and moderates the discussion to its exhaustion. Secondly, we should try to discuss one issue at a time and come up with a conclusive agreeable actionable points so that salient points of the discussion are documented with a final overall summary of the discussion. It is also my view that we should take this forum very seriously to specifically talk about issues affecting our region and other issues from outside of the region should be something relevant or ideas which are relevant and applicable to the development of our region. I am saying this because I think I have read some irrelevant news and blogs on the forum. In terms of the available server storage space the network has allocated to the forum, such irrelevant blogs are absolute waste of resources. If we had a moderator, then such people who post such information should kindly be requested or redirected to stick to the issue in discussion. Lastly, perhaps Joel Arumadri who has volunteered to help can tell us, advise us or suggest to us how he thinks we can make the documentation of the discussions in the forum easier for him. I hope we can truly try to be a little better organized in this endeavour. I believe , "YES WE CAN".

Re: [WestNileNet] Closing the school will not fix the problem
The issue of private schools requires careful deliberations. Starting a private school requires large sums of money which 'broke' entrepreneurs can't wait to accumulate to tap untapped opportuntities by the wealthy. The end result is always inability to meet standards; not deliberately but sometimes due to genuine financial constraints. Closing a school therefore defeats the purpose of education. How do you fight illiteracy without schools, how shall we achieve education for all goal? We need to learn from this old saying: better the devil you know than the angel you've never met. We may end up closing all our schools for standards we can not meet/afford in short run. Such schools should instead be recommended for public-private sector partnership under USE. Government should provide low interest loans to such entrepreneurs. Onzu's decision is just like the indecision of a stepchild: if he doesn't wash his hands, he's called dirty, if he does, he is wasting water.

FW: [WestNileNet] Fwd: Documentation of Ideas discussed in the Forum
Hi all out there, For those of you who dont know me, I am Joel Arumadri working with the Nile Basin Initiative in Entebbe, Uganda. I am happy to become part of this network and thankyou to all those who initiated it and those who have kept it hot. Comming to documenting the salient issues discussed, I am willing to do so but it will only make sense when the issues articulated by Vasco are addressed. And secondly, once documented, where and how (media) would it published and who are the targeted audience? Added to that, if there are cost implications for publishing how do we handle? As as far as moderation is concerned, we should be addressing ourselves to focussed views on the issue under discussion, the likely impacts and suggestions on intenventions. Such a structuring willl ease documentation.

DANIEL OLEMA PASTAWAY IN CALGARY. To: "'A Virtual Network for friends of West Nile'" Date: Wednesday, 22 April, 2009, 7:22 PM Dear Folks, For those of us who live in Uganda particularly Entebbe , Kampala , Jinja and surrounding areas, I have just received a message from Dr. Isaac Ezati of Mulago Hospital indicating that the body of our late brother Daniel Olema is expected in Uganda this Friday. He will receive the body and is making arrangement to take the body to Arua. The information I do have is that he has secured a vehicle to transport the body to Arua. The challenge at hand is for fueling the vehicle for the journey to and from Arua. I have had phone discussion with three members of WestnileNet based in Kampala . The proposal we have at hand is to open a condolence book and another book for some contribution towards the fuel expenses. I have also consulted our brother Droma and we have tentatively agreed to station the books at his place (Jinja Road Police Canteen in Kampala ) from tomorrow April 22,2009. Your suggestions and contributions are welcome towards this cause.

[WestNileNet] koboko school closed
Koboko school closed KOBOKO-Chief administrative officer Ismail Onzu has ordered the closure of Queen Victoria Primary School over what he described as operating below standard. “We can’t allow schools to operate as if they are markets. The school does not have enough teachers. It has one toilet that is shared by boys, girls, teachers and parents who stay nearby,” said Onzu. He was speaking at a meeting organised by Koboko Civil Society Network at the town hall on Friday. Onzu also told teachers to stop operating bars and video halls in school compounds. forwarded by. majid alemi juior. __ Looking for the perfect gift?
