Uganda under pressure to implement on World Bank gay safeguards before it resumes funding

How Vandals of Uganda captured state, created a slave society where investors trample on workers
It is not surprising that recent scientifically-backed assertions have put the number of mentally deranged Ugandans at 14 million out of a population of 45 million. If one was not reserved in use of words, one would say that this deplorable situation reflects poor governance of the country. A country is its people and resources.

In this case the people and their communities are taken as roadblocks to progress.
How President Museveni’s Rwandan Tutsi origins power apartheid-style governance in Uganda
Segregation in education began to take root as soon as President Tibuhaburwa Museveni enforced Universal Primary Education (UPE) in 1997, followed by Universal Secondary Education (USE), without corresponding efficient equipping of the schools with necessary materials, or just salaries for teachers.

Trading Musevenism for Kyagulanyism: Uganda’s enduring identity politics and man-eat-man interests
One unswerving Kyagulanyism states that Kyagulanyism is Ugandanism, which is self-rediscovery and self-empowerment of everyone in order to reinstitute the sovereignty of the traditional nation states of Uganda. However, I have not yet come across a clear integration, articulation and clarification of these ideals, although I have several times heard Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, the political head of the new political party National Unity Party (NUP), currently the majority political party in the parliament of Uganda.

How Nairobi’s upmarket Kilimani estate became world’s alluring host of contraband ‘gold embassies’
Police have red-flagged Kilimani and its environs as a sprawling crime scene that also hosts State House and the city’s “honourable” police stations – Kilimani, Kileleshwa, Muthangari and Upper Hill – where white collar criminals, international drug traffickers and gold smugglers prefer to be detained during arrest.
Modern knowledge: Unions, conventional wisdom and bureaucracy doomed in Uganda
Although we live in a world environment in which 95 per cent of the time is wasted (e.g, Peters, 1992) and resistance to change is a known vice, subserved by all sorts of conventional wisdom, it is no longer guaranteed that one can go on wasting time or resisting change using popular conventional wisdom like in the past.
Why allegations that Rwanda President Paul Kagame took part in bank robberies in Uganda have never been investigated
It is true that the small ethnic group that the rulers of Rwanda and Uganda belong to has continued to dominate employment opportunities in every sector of the economy.
