Dear Colleagues of WNF,

I am very concerned and worried about the rate of accidents on our roads! As
many members have already expressed their feelings, I am overcome with panic
and anxiety because at this rate many more people will be dying. Sometime
back in the US one bus driver caused a fatal accident and when the
investigations were made the operating licence of that bus company was
removed. I don't really know what should be done. Since we have no
alternative means of transport, such as trains, we shall continue to expose
ourselves to danger and travel in moving coffins! As Mr Adroamabe has
wondered, do we really have any serious laws left in Uganda?

But I, for one, would first of all begin by thanking Gaagaa for having
revolutionised our transport system in West Nile (for the lower prices,
comfort and respect for customers, employment to many, pride for us). If
Gaagaa didn't come to our region, by now, I guess we would still be treated
like bags of beans if not like pigs which, people sometimes tie on their
bicycle carriers, and we could, by now, be paying more than 30,000 UGX
between Arua and Kampala. Who knows? Now, the real question is; from 2005
when Gaagaa hit our roads, accidents linked to it were a rarity. So what has
really gone wrong? Is it the pressure of competition, the ageing of the
buses, lack of inspection, lack of repairs, poor administation, lack of
professionalism on the side of the drivers, foreigners (non-WestNilers) who
are intent on destroying us in every aspect?

For me, before making plausible suppositions or drawing conclusions. I want
to focus on the drivers. Firstly, who are the drivers of those buses?
Secondly, where do they come from,? Thirdly, what is their experience in
public transport system? I think these questions are a good clue for one to
attempt to delve into analysing the rampant causes of fatal accidents on our
roads where we particularly lose relatives. Therefore I would like to
suggest that Gaagaa bus company focus on this before the government locks it
out of business. For most of the accidents are caused by human error, thus
drivers. One might never know that the errors might be politically motivated
or out of jealousy for another successful man in a region which is not
supposed to register any such successes! Could sons and daughters of West
Nile train to be drivers those buses? The debate is open.

Finally, my heart bleeds for the relatives of those dead and I would wish to
extend my sincere condolences to them! MAY THEY REST IN PEACE!

Alex in Frankfurt

Added to what Alex has shared I would ask the summary of the points John
Avudria did about safety measures which should be handed to Kayihura so that
these accidents are minimized.
God bless West Nile

[WestNileNet] Birth of West Nile Foundation Investment Club

2011-01-23 Thread Caleb Alaka 
Ladies and Gentlemen,

As you are absolutely aware, one of our objectives as stated in our memorandum 
and articles of association is to venture into a collective investment scheme. 
The same is also reflected in our strategic Plan. Good news, Yesterday, during 
the science cafe under the tutelage of our able sister Christine Munduru, Our 
own investment expert Denis Aliga together with our ebullient elder Geoffrey 
Onegi Obel who is the God father of Capital Markets in Uganda made a breath 
taking presentation on collective investment schemes. Members then resolved to 
move forward and as a result the Committee on the WNFIC was formed. The members 
of the committee are the following:
1.   Chairperson Richard Okuti Borao
2.  Vice Chairperson Adiga Jimmy
3. members Alemi Kenyi William, Akille Igu Rocks, Adukule Winnie, Azabo 
Francis, Abati Nickson. Azabo Francis is the treasurer, meanwhile Denis Aliga 
is the Investment advisor and Caleb Alaka is an ex-officio by virtue of his 
position as the President. Members also agreed that the committee formulates 
its TOR, and members are urged to contribute a minimum of 100,000 per each 
three months to the scheme, the funds will be managed by a fund manager 
registered and approved by the capital markets authority.

Re: [WestNileNet] WestNileNet Digest, Vol 29, Issue 108

2011-01-23 Thread JohnAJackson 
Dear friends,
Less than six months ago, KK bus killed 21 people and left more injured with
severe injuries.
Now Gaga bus has killed 17 more. A month ago 14 people died in Metu in
another accident.
In 2010, there more accidents where passengers were seriously injured
including more deaths. When will these reckless killings stop?

Ladies and gentlemen, if buses or lorries kill over 100 people per year, do
we really see a problem?  What can we do as a community to control the rate
of these accidents?
As consumers, if we do nothing, these accidents will only continue year
after year.

I think there is serious need to dialogue with bus operators. Although they
are providing a service to the public, on the other hand, they must ensure
high standard of public safety.
A lot of sources of accidents coulld be avoided:


   - Over speeding
   - Drinking & Driving
   -  Lack of training and regard for public safety
   - Illegal driving without proper licensing
   - Reckless and defensive driving

I think there is urgent need to address these problems or else we shall
continue to see more deaths; innevitably including us when we travel up
country. Although no one plans for accidents to happen, many could be
avoided by careful driving.

[WestNileNet] I regrete what has happened.

2011-01-23 Thread adroamabe isaac 
Dear friends, I feel very sorry for what has happened to our brothers and
sisters; it could have happened to anyone of us if we were togather in the
same bus. I think this is getting too much of our country and transport
companies.
It pains me that every now and then our people perish in fatal motor
accidents and the best done is only to burry the dead. Rarely do the
responsible people face the law. Some time back B.A.T company made several
people to die and to me nothing much was done. From time to time people
travelling in buses and open lorries like students die and we only end up
buying beautiful coffins, food stuff to be eaten during the funerals and
sending sweet condolence messages.
Where is the arm of the law? When will justice reign? Who will ever
sacrifice on behalf of the poor people sue the offenders and defend the our
people. Even if they are sued, who can obtain justice in our judicial system
well known for bribes though difficult to prove?
Obtaining justice in our country now is like getting water from the rock
like Moses did in the O.T. If your God is not tough, rich and perhaps
corrupt enough, you mail miserably fail. You must accept to be tossed
between a rock and a hard place before you are given your right.
I wish I was a civil lawyer perhaps I'm talking too much of what I don't
know. I hope that this time justice will really reign otherwise things are
moving the wrong direction.
