I fully agree with Moses,there is a popular saying that when you live in a 
class house don't throw stones at others.Any one who has been on ground 
knows how much this executive have tried to have stuff done and definitely if 
we all played our parts they would have achieved our goals.Electing a new 
executive may not necessarily achieve what we wish for,so resist from that 
proposition.

Dungu Caleb,
I feel your pain and frustration. You are spot on in every issue you have 
raised. Economists would classify the activities of WNF/WNNET this far as "a 
tragedy of commons". I mean when you have multiple individuals, acting 
independently and rationally consulting their own self-interest, the shared 
limited resouce will ultimately be depleted even when it is clear that it is 
not 
in anyone's long-term interest for this to happen. Any one who cared to 
organise 
the activities of WNF/Net should have by now realised you cannot succeed if 
with 
this open to all policy. I mean, we already have a list of guys who are always 
there to fix urgent problems where financing is required, in my opnion that 
should have been the starting point to limit access of active participation on 
the foundation affairs. Other members would join when they become serious 
period. All of you know to succeed on the different initiatives debated in this 
forum you need MONEY. You have guys who generously financed the "SEEDS 
PROJECT", 
you have guys who financially time and again contribute in OB's/OG's 
activities, 
in emergenicies. WHY THEN ARE WE INTERESTED IN HAVING TO WALK WITH EVERY ONE 
WHEN ITS VERY CLEAR FROM THE ONSET SOME WILL TALK BUT SHY AWAY WHEN IT'S TIME 
TO 
WALK THE TALK?

Dear members,

Some time last year, we tried to build a consensus on payment of
subscription fees of 50,000/= Uganda Shillings for West Nile
Foundation. This idea was vehemently opposed by several members. Some
even pretended that they had never seen the strategic plan, the
memorandum and articles of association of WNF. Other members suggested
that we should go slow on issues of money. As a result to-date we have
no secretariat to co-ordinate our activities. We can't implement or
move any thing. Members what do we do?. Should we all abandon this
idea of having an umbrella organization. We have resisted all good
ideas, from West Nile night, the Investment Club, and even the Science
Cafe which records miserable attendances. We are comfortable and we
actively involve our selves in smaller or sectarian organizations,
when it comes to the bigger picture we sit back and savor the idea of
our leaders failing. We have forgotten that Kigs uses money to host
the West Nile net. He and Gordon Obitre-Gama had to import a server
from USA to host the net. We have taken advantage of their magnanimity
and abused it. What if they one time get fed up. By now we should have
had our own website. I think the idea of a West Nile Foundation and
the West Nile Net or forum should be discarded. Some of us were useful
to our community without these organizations,  We can still be useful
without them. Lets agree to dissolve the Forum and the Foundation.
Lets concentrate on our Local Counties, Districts, Old boys/girls
organizations in our old schools were we are more comfortable, tribes
and probably religion. Without payment of subscription fees, we have
no right to belong to and hold an organization and its leadership
accountable. Lets wind up the WNF and if our treasurer has
contributions by some members let him arrange to refund them. We
resisted the idea of a Ministry for West Nile affairs and now other
regions have Ministries. West Nile doesn't deserve us. We lied to
ourselves that we are of the Golden generation. But at this rate we
are worse than our ' Kasamvu' (Sugar cane cutter) relatives. For they
were not as  enlightened as we are.

Leni et al,

Whilst it is possible to create different share classes within a Fund, this is 
an investment club (not a registered and regulated scheme) which is best 
commenced with a uniform set of periodic contributions. Once the investment 
club 
takes root, we can introduce a number of enhancements. 


Investment planning, asset allocation, stock selection and other considerations 
with respect to investment clubs are best done when there is a high level of 
commonality.  


Again I would like to urge members to look at the presentation, the bylaws and 
the draft Terms of Reference the Investment Committee comes up with in order to 
solicit feedback appropriately. 


Regards,

Dennis

Thanks Denis and Apollo,
Dennis the details?you are bringing out are good and are in the right 
direction. 

Apollo, what you call as lamenting about speed, i see it differently, when you 
build?a house?on a shaky foundation it doesn't stand test of time. Am just 
saying lets have more discussions and set this thing off on a strong 
foundation. 

Dennis i agree with you, excution is very important, but still positive 
discussions are even more important. For example, the 100k per quarter to me 
could be the minimum, you could for example consider allocating shares in lots 
of 100k such that a person who wants to invest more say 300k per quarter can do 
so. Otherwise if we conclude expanding the disscussions is theorising we may 
make initial mistakes that will be permanent with us. Lets open up people and 
accept divergent views, remember no one knows it all.

Francis

Well as you may all be aware YES we do have laws wonderful laws i must add
but the biggest challenge is implementation! Until an implementation
strategy is adopted and aggressively pursued there can never be change.
As you rightly put it Alex human error calls into play but i wonder does
GAAGAA have speed Governors installed? that should be our first point of
reference.

My condolences to the bereaved families.

All,

1. I shall request the presentation on CAPITAl MARKETS PARTICIPATION THROUGH 
COLLECTIVE INVESTMENT FUNDS to be distributed to all on the Forum.

2. I shall offer to guide the Investment Committee in developing the Terms of 
Reference which shall be circulated on this forum for comment.  


3. It was resolved that members willing to participate in the collective 
investment arrangements should contribute Shs100,000 every quarter. The first 
such contribution is expected by 30 March 2010, in time to be handed to a 
registered and Capital Markets Authority Regulated Investment Manager . At that 
point the Terms of Reference, how contributions will be made, selection of 
Investment Manager and Investment Objectives will have been completed.

4. Execution is key and we should not be spending time theorising when we can 
take steps in the right direction. After studying the presentation that will be 
emailed to all, those willing to participate should plan the initial 
contribution.

Kind regards,
Dennis Aliga

Thanks comrades for the initiatives.

Due to some reasons, it was not possible for some of us to make it to the
science cafe of 23/1/10, and i beleive, the team that has been set up should
go ahead to develop a TOR as agreed in the cafe. Incase others are bringing
the element of concept note, the team can equally take that up, instead of
us lamenting on the speed at which the arrangements are being made.

Dear President Westnile Foundation,
I applaud you and everyone who attended the Science Cafe upon this new 
initiative. However i am also concerned that you could reach such an 
important decision that fast by simply electing into office persons, asking 
them 
to develop their TORs, without putting in place the necessary constitution, 
especially on things concerning MONEY. I for one would have loved the Cafe 
meeting to elect persons to draft a concept note and a consititution to guide 
this investment initiative and then share it on this forum before finalizing 
this process. I have never known that you can hire a person, even if 
voluntarily 
and ask them to develop their own TOR and off you retire home happy. It is a 
shame that members who participated in this exercise didn't see any problem 
with 
such an arrangement. Please, I AM NOT IN ANY WAY QUESTIONING THE INTEGRITY OF 
THE PEOPLE YOU ELECTED TO MANAGE AFFAIRS OF THE WNFIC, i think they are a 
formidable team. However there are so many loose ends to such a brilliant 
initiative, i hope our own highly knoweledgeable investment advisors gave you 
the whole picture and not just stopped at how to use your pool of money to make 
more money. For example, through a proper constitution (whatever you want to 
call it), you would know what to do with one's entitlement God forbid if one 
member of the WNFIC passes on. 

For now let me stop here,

over to you WNF

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.

2010-12-14 Thread anguyo francis leni
Caleb you have my consent.
I like kiggs suggestion, since many of us will be in Arua for the festive 
season i guess we could meet on christmas eve and set the way forward both 
legally and politically. The political angle is important because i dont 
entirely believe that tulow oil is behind all this, they may just be a conduit. 
My gut feelings tell me its the same mafias you read about everyday in the 
newspapers, Wikileaks,  expanding their asset bases to Arua. Besides 
that we all atleast know the mess in NFA (an official keeping 900 million in 
his 
house not in a bank?) those guys could simply have sold the forest to the 
highest bidder. Let me give you some hypothetical simple logic, Arua district 
acquires land at 100m for NFA to move the forest to pave way to develop barifa, 
NFA agrees. However some unscrupulous Ugandans (with aid of middle men in arua) 
see the opportunity and swing into action, offer NFA similar piece of land to 
move the forest and in addition offer NFA officials a few more hundreds of 
millions for their personal speending needs. Do you still think NFA would still 
continue with the proposal by Arua district? ? ?

I am surely at a loss on this matter. I know like comrade Alaka has
explained, that a formal process was being undertaken between Arua Municipal
Council and the NFA as regards de-gazzeting parts of the forest for
residential purposes. I saw a copy of the letter that was prepared by the
Council to NFA and Ministries concerned as regards this matter. I have
therefore been expecting a positive news since the Council had already
acquired a land in Logiri as replacement.
I find it hard to accept this bull shit "Orders from above" business. I
seriously think we need to go ahead with the legal option if we are to be
given an explanation on what is happening. I fear that we may lose the land
and even the golf ground like we lost part of it several years back. Yet
this open space is part of the beauty of the town. Our pride should not just
be in so-called constructions but also in maintaining a natural
green-scenery that's attractive to the eyes and that affects the freshness
off the air we breath.
I would think we should liase with Municipal Council and the NFA on matters
of documents that may be required in as far as this crucial issue is
concerned.
We cannot allow the Municipal Re-Planning Process that is already in the
pipeline to just go to waste like that.
I think we have been taken for granted enough and the People of Arua should
stand up, even if it meant a demonstration in town.

Thanks.

ACIDRI DEOGRATIAS,
University College Cork, Ireland.

Arike relax,
Be proud of your brother, Denis's success shouldn't be things to start useless 
quarrels and fights about but rather to be proud of and used to modivate 
ourselves and others. Thumps up Denis, i hadn't followed closely how you became 
a succesful banker/portifolio investor from your law background but this 
profile has brought that out.I hope you are seriously positioning yourself and 
your investment firm to take on opportunities from Uganda's oil sector, in a 
few years to come there will definitely be many opportunities in that 
direction. Alaka's list of prominent sons and daughters of this foundation 
lifts my spirits even higher, guys continue doing what you do and make westnile 
proud. JM Kennedy says, awadifo azi sii.

[WestNileNet] Re: WestNileNet Digest, Vol 22, Issue 36

2010-06-16 Thread anguyo francis leni
Dear friends,
Why should returning money back to the central government be such a big issue? 
When we should in my humble view concern ourselves if such money gets utilized 
in the required rules for instance if you were asked to contruct 10 boreholes, 
were the 10 boreholes constructed. and if so did they meet the set standards or 
you simply constructed 10 boreholes at half the value you are accounting for? 
And the next day every one else to you is a peasant!. You and me know that 
money could as well have been spent accounted for using tricks of thieves in 
suits and still we in this forum would break our backs to try and improve 
livelihood in our region using our hard earned monies. The saying goes charity 
starts from home, i mean you cannot expect central government to be accountable 
to you if your own local government is not accountable. I think what changed 
between the last financial year and the financial years before is that controls 
have been stepped up and people
 who have being abusing government resources were caught on the wrong foot and 
could not get their hands to utilize these resources without geting in 
problems. Right from the centre things are tight now. 

Decentralization has succeeded in many countries, the fact that it has not 
succeeded in Uganda doesnot mean decentralization is bad parse. But in my view 
its beacuse we have very weak societies and cultures, that worships wealthy 
chaps without looking into the source of their wealth. Therefor every one wants 
to be rich either by crook or its equivalent.

As far as Mr. Abriga is concerned, i don't know why Mr. Bada Fred is bringing 
this up. The fact that he has not come after you speaks volumes and could may 
be mean your friends are suspected to have done things in improper ways. I 
guess you understand what i mean. And personally, i don't condone, my 
priniciple is if my own brother is caught stealing his own people or has wealth 
whose roots you can not trace, he takes responsibility for his acts. If he is 
in jail my job is to visit him and if he asks me to get him a lawyer to do that.

THANK GOD THAT MONEY WAS SENT BACK TO THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT OTHERWISE IT WOULD 
HAVE BEEN UTILIZED HALFHAZARDLY, ACCOUNTED FOR BUT WITH NO IMPACT ON LIVES OF 
PEOPLE EITHER BECAUSE SUBSTANDARD WORK WAS DONE OR COMPLETELY NO WORK BUT SMART 
ACCOUNTABILITY.

Dear friends,
The university issue is certainly very important. I suggest we get a list of 
all the people either are presently teaching (used to teach) in the different 
universities both within and outside the country. Am sure many in this forum 
know these persons from westnile who are professors/lecturers. This could be a 
very useful starting point because they would bring on board practical 
knowledge and important contacts. Those in other higher education circles would 
certainly be very important but a university is a university, its dynamics are 
a different ball game all together.  For example, a universities survival and 
sustainability is just not the tuition it charges but how it can attract 
funding say in areas of research and related aspects.

I am a part time lecturer in Makerere University Faculty of Economics and 
Management, Not a PhD holder yet but a number of westnile students have gone 
through my classes. If the members in this Foundation deem my modest experience 
necessary for this cause, I will gladly serve although not on full time basis.

Francis Leni Anguyo
1.Head Macro Econometric Modeling Section,
Modeling and Forecasting Division

Bro.Ejiku,
You make a whole lot of Sense, not just some sense. Bro. Majid please reflect 
some sensitivity in the things you bring to this forum. Since when did you or 
anyone in this forum start advising Mr.Alaka about his work. Am sorry but if i 
had the powers, some of you in this forum would long have seen the exit. Guys 
lets organise this forum otherwise its focus will be ambushed.

Counsel Alaka, first I salute you for calling this Meeting of the Interim 
Leadership of West Nile.My question is have you just restricted it to the 
persons you have invited and those who will attend via Hi-tech technologies. Or 
some of us not on your invitation list but could offer their modest 
contributions ( of any sort,are around town and don't have the hi-tech devices 
can gate-crush your meeting. My worry is at times we restrict our selves to 
people we meet and interact with frequently and yet there are others out there 
who could be of use.

This is in good faith.

Brothers and sisters,
I like this initiative of Jackson, we can work to improve what he has drafted. 
I also want to bring your attention to this important point raised by Margaret, 
the net is no longer a secure place to have detailed discussions and worse 
still in a democracy like ours at its infancy. I suggest for detailed 
discussions we physical meeting not to disclose everything on the net and for 
our brothers and sisters out side the country, we can email them personally 
what we have come up with and they make their contributions in that way. I beg 
to be corrected, I imagine contents of the westnile net been on google and some 
of the things we say may be used against us, on that regard I humbly request us 
to be sensitive to what we post here.

Importantly, on the initiative for raising resources to help the dear in need 
of food supplies back home. Am contributing shs.100,000 (one hundred thousand) 
and with your permission the next time I meet Rogers I will hand that over to 
him.

Good bless

Francis Leni ANGUYO

Rogers, Caleb and Jackson, I Applaud you for this great initiative. This is 
indeed the time to walk the talk. I am for the fund raising activity at DMO's 
and i kindly ask you Mr. Alaka to call for this gathering, if possible this 
weekend. Knowing you and your networking strengths, I trust you are the most 
capable of getting as many brothers and sisters as possible at the shortest 
notice.

In addition I propose we have a database of all the mobile phone contacts for 
all the members on this forum for easy and urgent communication of such 
activities. At times the mails option might not be the most effective for such 
urgent initiatives.

Kind regards
Francis

[WestNileNet] 2009/10 budget

2009-06-19 Thread anguyo francis leni

Brothers and Sisters,

True the resources are limited and that is not unique to Arua/Uganda alone, 
that is the sole reason why people,institutions,central governments and local 
governemnts budget. What perharps is unique to Arua/Uganda alone is the extent 
to which the little resources find their way into peoples personal gains 
instead of having a more sustainable impact on influencing the welfare of the 
population. The Arua budget should have come out more open on fighting 
corruption,the use of NADDS as the only corrupt place/program is far from the 
truth, bottom line,the whole process is rotten and therefore the authorities 
should have come out more clearly with "Arua-based" policies on fighting 
corruption. And in doing that, they should "walk the talk".The reasons for the 
increased costs of construction materials is alittle loose, from an economists 
point of view, if financial crisis/global crisis causes an economic slow down 
(recession been the extream end)then its impact
 should be to lower prices instead of increasing them because then 
demand/purchasing power would be lconstrained. Uganda is a paculiar situation 
where by the business community tries to reap all the time at the disguise of a 
miss-happening. Take for example, when the price of a barrel of oil fell from 
close to $140 to $40,it took over four months for pump prices in Uganda to 
decline by between shs.200 to shs.300, but just for a short time when the price 
of a barrel of oil has gone to $80, pump prices have go up by shs.200. and yet 
these fellas are still selling the oil products they procured using the old $40 
per barrel. Lastly, i see no point in the district trying to spend 4bn in a 
single month, this is a further concern for misappropriations. My advice to 
fellas in this forum and who are part of the district planning system is to 
guide the concerned authorities to learn to smoothen their spending especially 
the non-administrative spendings that way
 they can then have a better monitoring process and have some impact on the 
lives of the people they led.

Kind regards.

Hullo Comrades,
It’s a pleasure to be a part of this “Think tank” forum.  From the various 
contributors so far, It’s clear that the causes for the rather dismal 
performances in our region are quite many.  I applaud you all for the ideas 
generated here, however bottom line, to reverse this worrying trend in 
performance to a great extend lies in the hands of the students, teachers and 
parents (and to a limited degree close relatives, leaders ,..).  The Oscar 
awards are definitely a good initiative in that direction. However, if the 
Oscar’s specifically target students, there is another critical component not 
been targeted.  I suggest we introduce another award to target the teachers so 
that they are motivated to teach good material and also ensure they finish 
their syllabus and on time. If not all, most of these schools do not complete 
the required syllabus by the time these chaps sit their exams. These kids are 
then limited in choices in terms of questions
 that they can answer. The next step should then focus on these students who 
make it to the Universities. There is a big problem also in there, it’s just 
not enough to get to the university and get out but it helps to get out with 
quality papers. I have been told of lady from Ediofe Girls who got admitted to 
do Economics in Makerere on Government Sponsorship, by the end of first year 
this lady had 6 retakes and was dropping out of school. This is an indication 
that there could be huge problem students from our region are facing in these 
universities as well.
