The worst problems for good plan in Uganda is some investors have ulterior motives they milk the economy dry as you can see now.
I don't believe in Asian and Chinese investors as some are refunding they rape workers and miserably pay workers such that we keep flocking for petty salaried jobs daily etc Now to Ugandans, most of us have poor income sources that can't allow us support to government in taxes and we complain we don't have service, the burden is swifted to PAYE employees and businesses. imaging over 60% of Ugandan don't pay direct taxes that earns government money to pay salaries more so the so called salary earners don't have their own businesses until they retire and lifestyle sicknesses starts they die.....another pension expense followup starts and govt is over burdened with very low tax base. Iam not a govt employees and I will never ever. Poll tax to date is political and our village people are relaxed some chew marungi and drink waragi as earlier as at 6am till 10pm and are unproductive, mean while 60% of salaried govt workers don't stay in offices 8hrs, they hang their suites and walk away to plan hot deals on how to bit and corrupt today. Too many civil servants on payroll and they need salary increase from no where and limited income from govt this means we shall feed the economy on borrowed loans just to pay salaries and feed the belies.
