Who would not like to claim association with something as good as Miss Uganda
! Politics and the military aside; seriously speaking agriculture needs to be
seriously taken and promoted, the young generation need to show active
involvement in agriculture, which I understand is the back bone of Uganda's
economy and livelihood;it is also the largest employer in our country !

Army to take over Miss Uganda
beauty contest

IN SUMMARY
Strategic. The move is aimed at interesting more young people into
agriculture.
Kampala.
The army will take over the Miss Uganda beauty contests in order to attract
young people into the agricultural sector so as to solve problems of hunger
and poverty among the youth in the country.
This was revealed by Gen Caleb Akandwanaho aka Salim Saleh, the
presidential adviser on military matters.
?We are almost signing a Memorandum of Understanding with the Miss Uganda
Foundation because we want to choose the next Miss Uganda basing on
agriculture and this is intended to interest the young people into the
sector,? Gen Saleh said.
He made the statement on Tuesday while passing out 300 army officers who
have completed agricultural production induction training at Makerere
University as the Force prepares to takeover the Naads programme.
Naads, an agricultural programme that seeks to spur the sector growth had
allegedly been mismanaged by civil servants which forced President Museveni
to say he was going to deploy soldiers in every constituency across the
country to take agriculture to a new level.
The President?s decision however, raised mixed reaction from the public
with the Opposition members and opinion leaders accusing the President of
politicising and militarising the agricultural sector.
The State minister for Luweero Triangle, Ms Sarah Kataike, warned the
officers against indulging themselves into corruption tendencies and
appealed to them to remain non-partisan as they carry out their work
countrywide.
?Such corruption tendencies would not only tarnish the name of the UPDF but
also that of government in general,? Ms Kataike said.
Mr Okasai Opolot, the Director Crop Resources in the Ministry of
Agriculture, said they plan to integrate police and prisons officers in
agriculture to increase food production but also boost their incomes.
