Ssebo Gook, Thank you for this posting! Do you by any chance know the population in Moroto? and/or Karamoja district as a whole? How many Karamojongos can 20 houses accommodate?
If I recall, Karamoja has GOLD, one of the best selling commodities in the world today. How do 20 houses compare the the benefits of selling GOLD and possibly oil to the world on the global market? How about the cows? Will the cows be confined as USA corporations which took over the farms did in USA? To cut the long story short: Who put this plan together? Is it in the interests of our fellow country men, women and their children and Uganda as a nation? Or is it someone's rubber stamp to hoodwink observers into believing,that something is being done to develop Moroto and Karamoja, as part of Uganda the nation? Let us face it, our people in Karamoja have been neglected for years. I am just curious, Gook and will appreciate and answers from you, or anyone reading me.

The units are part of the Government strategy to provide decent accommodation and transform the living conditions of the people of Karamoja. Commissioning the project, Mrs. Museveni said the Government was committed to transforming villages into better places to live in. She called upon the communities to unite and work together in this effort to modernise Karamoja, adding that she wanted to see modern villages all over the region. “Our dream is to see people build houses using the hydraform machines we purchased. I would like to see all villages develop and have such housing units,” the First Lady said. The three-room housing units were constructed by Karimojong youth, who were trained by Hydraform Group, South Africa. Mrs. Museveni urged the youth to take advantage of the tractor-hire facility to grow food in order to avert famine. http://www.newvision.co.ug/D/8/16/711895 -- *Gook "What you are we once were, what we are now you shall be!"
