While locusts menace poses threat to food security in East Africa, Uganda’s control methods fall off the pace
It is clear the government of Uganda has exclusively chosen chemical warfare to combat locusts. Pesticides are the chemicals of choice. However, the government has not been so open as to tell the country what particular pesticides it is using to combat locusts. We know some chemicals have been ordered...
Transition of Museveni from barter trade advocate to running ruthless mafioso of Uganda Inc
If you talk of business crime, intellectual crime, academic crime, cybercrime, political crime, economic crime, ecological crime and environmental crime, virtually all those involved belong to President Tibuhaburwa Museveni’s new middle class. They are found in the army, police, cabinet, legislature, judiciary, business, education, health, politics, you name it.
Queerism: How World Bank doles out wicked money to ‘evangelise’ homosexuality, engineer Africans’ self-termination
While Catholic orthodoxy still regards homosexuality as a crime against nature, the sexual deviation from the more biologically, ecologically and environmentally recurring sexual practice among diverse species of animals and plants – heterosexuality – the deviant sexual practice has been documented as far back as the times of ancient Greeks. Germany was probably the first country in modern times to legalise the practice almost 30 years ago.
Societies perpetuate behaviour that endangers civilisation via devotion to industrial-scale food production
Similarly, many governments continue to facilitate the large-scale production of water-intensive crops through extensive irrigation schemes, despite the evident decline in global water supplies that is already producing widespread shortages of drinking water in places like Iran.
Although know our appetite for food and fossil fuel is killing the world, our craving for conferences is equally high
When do we know that a civilisation is on the verge of collapse? In his now almost 20-year-old classic, Diamond identified three key indicators or precursors of imminent dissolution: a persistent pattern of environmental change for the worse like long-lasting droughts; signs that existing modes of agriculture or industrial production were aggravating the crisis; and an elite failure to abandon harmful practices and adopt new means of production. At some point, a critical threshold is crossed and collapse invariably follows.
Homosexuality: It’s time Africa, other developing countries gave World Bank and IMF a wide berth
African leaders who become rich only after they have become leaders through primitive accumulation of wealth are victims. The loot the make, if they do not encourage domestic production, will be foreign loans-based.
Homosexuality or money? How World Bank conquers Nature by arm-twisting Africans to have a go at the unnatural
We saw this most glaringly in the Bujagali dam process in Uganda. Even if we kept on crying aloud about the dire consequences of the ethics, morality, ecological, cultural and environmental aspects that would be ushered in by the project, we were ignored. The project was funded by the World Bank and implemented by President Tibuhaburwa Museveni’s government at exorbitant cost. Busoga
Uganda’s eating chiefs: A look at a presidency infested with hounds who ravage the Treasury, then vomit on shoes of the poor
If Ms Kamya felt a bit uncomfortable with President Museveni’s public emasculation of her efforts to fight corruption in Uganda, she actually came off quite lightly, compared to her counterpart anti-corruption CEOs elsewhere in Africa, who have been publicly humiliated and summarily hounded out of office long before the end of their tenure, the very moment these anti-corruption chiefs started stepping on the toes of some crooked members of the political establishment.
How Uganda’s State House became the unrivalled power point of ruthless theft of public resources
When we recently wrote our article Engineering and institutionalising corruption through the Office of Prime Minister in which we gave examples of mind-boggling cases of theft of public money and properties to prove our case, we never suspected that it would attract a lot of interest within the country and...
Academics charged with conserving, managing our wildlife and total environment suffer from imposed ignorance
The rulers have mined in national parks and game reserves, felled trees in game reserves and forest reserves to establish plantations of oil palm and sugarcane; removed natural vegetation and replaced it with foreign species of trees, Eucalyptus and Cypress; and erected huge dams in national parks or elsewhere along the Nile, thereby erasing endemic species of plants and animals.
