Nume Right ON!

 

Apparently the dictatorship in Kampala , I heard it through the grapevine" has invited some Boers, "farmers"( I hear) from  SA  mbhu to come and settle on land which the NRM has forcefully taken from the Karamojongs,the Acholi,the Buganda, and the Banyoro.....NRM reasoning in conducting such  Treasonable   act is that  Mbhu  the    people of Uganda do not need  land   Mbhu  only Boers, call them farmers if you like can utilize our land  and will put them  to better use. .! can you believe that!

It is land that M7 is after so that he can give it away to non_africans ( with himself and cronies as silent partners) in the name of  'progress'. .

 

That is what  the federo talks were about.

Indian farmers want Uganda land

KAMPALA – Hundreds of debt-ridden Indian commercial farmers are lobbying government to allow them relocate to Uganda to start a new life. This follows committing of suicide by over 500 of their colleagues who were in distress since May this year. The farmers from the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh want Uganda to allocate them 100,000 hectares of farmland, according to a Uganda Investment Authority (UIA) official, John Musajja Akawa. He told Sun day Monitor that a team led by Mr CC Reddy, an advisor to the Andhra Pradesh government is still in negotiations with government on the matter. Mr Musajja Akawa added: “We are still considering their request and as soon as we agree we shall sign a memorandum of understanding”. Information Minister, Nsaba Buturo says: “The issue of land is not a problem and the state of our infrastructure is also not that prohibitive.” He however cited political sabotage. The Pradesh state plans to send hundreds of farmers to East Africa to cultivate farmland. Pradesh has already been in talks with Kenya to lease 20, 000 hectares and send about 1, 000 farmers there to work, according to media reports. At least 502 farmers have killed themselves since May.
