You state: "....The reason more Ugandans are sending money home now is because they feel Uganda is safer and more stable than during the previous regimes, so they are investing more in Uganda now than before. ..."
No. It is that more Ugandans have fled their country as a result of the policies of Museveni which make them fear persecution or be unable to earn any living any longer than has ever happened in the past. Consequently there also more relatives in dire need than there were in the past. Why, Museveni himself has declared today that there are millions of Uganda on the verge of starvation. That has never happened in the past.

emmanuel musaazi,
You state: "....The reason more Ugandans are sending money home now is because they feel Uganda is safer and more stable than during the previous regimes, so they are investing more in Uganda now than before. ..." I did not know that you were this stupid!
I, for one, send money to Uganda so my few remaining relatives can survive and not be one of the 1,000,000 statistic that your icon dictator Museveni qoutes of starving (begging for food from the WFP; Ugandans have never had to do this until dictator Museveni came to power!)! You call that a financial investment?
Like he said in his letter to The Monitor, dictator Museveni cares for the safety of himself and his immediate family, and by collorary, not for the rest of Ugandans. But, the Ugandans will eventually "take care of him and his family"and, boy, they will?
