Re: [WestNileNet] Where are we heading in 2016?
Dear J. A. Jackson, I too like you elaboration. I just looked at a satellite image over the West Nile region for 2 different time periods, Year 2000 and 2010, the land cover has really changed. The natural forest has disappeared. The vegetation index is very low. That means most of the times the land doesn't have something green/vegetation/crops etc. consequently, this signifies the likelihood of long term severe food insecurity. This coincides with rampant taking of drugs i.e Miraa, Marijuana, Alcohol etc which is a social problem. I therefore really expect the Politician to come together and work with technocrats in order to curb some of these looming issues rather than politicizing irrelevant issues.

Re: [WestNileNet] Where are we heading in 2016?
Dear Peter and Friends, Very good question about why we're glued to Politicians. We're not glued to Politicians but they are one of the key decision makers. Just look at the current situations, the Politicians bring people together in the name of changing their welfare; people listen to Politicians but not teachers, lawyers, foresters etc. People spend time gathering for Political Campaigns. But try to Organize a technical workshop with you vast knowledge, they will not turn up in the numbers we are seeing on paper these days. Based on this obvious reasoning, I still hold them responsible for the decisions that frustrate socio-economic development.

Re: [WestNileNet] Where are we heading in 2016?
Patrick and friends, I am not really surprised for the comments about my stance that politicians should be partly responsible for the challenges our local communities are facing. It would be prudent if proper system analysis is done. I have been talking from atleast obvious point of view. Look at how NAADs, NUSAF etc who are/were the decision makers on how these projects are implemented?. *Sadadi* On Tue, Jan 5, 2016 at 9:41 PM, Gatre Patrick <patrickg...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear Mr. Ojoatre, > Ur analysis about mindset of the locals suites local situation.

I had thought that our MPs had spearheaded the lobbying of connection of West Nile region to the national grid to solve our energy problems!! From the link above, I was wrong!! The elecrical energy from Karuma HPP shall be evacuated to Kawanda Substation(260km from Karuma), Kamdini(13km from Karuma)and Lira( 85km from Karuma). The Pakwach line through Nwoya/Amuru is not mentioned anywhere(about 110 km from Karuma). I suggested before that our MPs in West Nile ought to have lobbied for the connection to the National Grid which shall solve the outage problems in West Nile. The Nyagak 12(isolated grid) can then be used as back-up power after through syncronization with the National Grid. Hon Jachan Omach, Hon Aridru, Hon Atiku, Hon Onzima, Hon Bako etc, kindly do the neeedful for our region. Hon Aridru, you need to take this up as a priority even if it means getting additional funding!! Members, what do you think?
