Transdisciplinarity: Integrating certified experts, non-certified experts, stakeholders and practitioners in knowledge industry
Transdisciplinarity is linked with new frameworks for health and wellness that transcend disciplinary and interdisciplinary inputs, involvement of stakeholders outside the academy in team-based research (Klein, 2014). This is why transdisciplinarity, like interdisciplinarity, crossdisciplinarity and extradisciplinarity, is called a team science.
Pariah economy: Museveni’s ‘life presidency’ turned Uganda into a basket case on life-support
Cultural erosion through schemes such Operation Wealth Creation, Myooga and Parish Development Model, which emphasise the individual and money rather than community integrity, cohesion, unity and resilience, which were subserved by culture.
Why there’s need for Uganda to accept centrality of environment in economic growth, governance
There is need to rethink Uganda and its development, leadership and governance and recognise the centrality of environment and environmental literacy to any meaningful change, transformation and progress in the 21st century. A word to the wise is enough.
Initially ‘tribe’ was used to classify wildlife, then British applied it to denigrate Ugandans and Museveni seized it as a tyranny toolkit
The colonialists, therefore, introduced centralised governance, not to benefit Ugandans as such, but themselves. When they introduced domestic economic production of sugarcane, coffee and cotton, and integrated it in the global markets and a domestic education system, which later got integrated in the global education and communications system, it was not in the interest of the peoples they colonised.
While Uganda borrows heavily to build atomic energy and prepare for imaginary wars, its civil servants go hungry
The national budget has become just a ritual, indicating upward allocations of money, but in reality, increasingly financial discipline is not reflected in performance and achievement of what it is allocated to do. The cost of government business is supersonically rising while the gains by the country are plummeting supersonically
Galileo Galilei did not have a science degree yet he shaped how the world runs; what’s the craving for degrees in Africa for?
Apart from Galileo Galilei who did so much for the scientific and technological revolution before he had a degree, there are many others who did. I hope when I mention some it will arouse your curiosity and help you change your mind about who is a good and efficient scientist is. Possibly you will stop judging a scientist using the grade of his or her degree as the yardstick and even start asking: what went wrong with the human mind.
Trouble with Uganda: It’s riddled with unprincipled politics, mind poverty, stupidity and foolish leadership
You cannot expect a healthy population if you are not investing adequately in health services and health human resources. You cannot expect peace and security in the long-term if you have invested in military hardware and violence at the expense of social development. Social security and peace should be paramount.
Reintegrating knowledge and truth: Science, religion and politics are not diametrically opposed
All these ideas and practices penetrate each other, are interdependent and interconnected with God at their centre. We are acting the ignorant when we deliberately, persistently, consistently, continually and perennially extricate God from them.
Uganda’s roads sector: It’s a classical case of ‘Tragedy of the Commons’ and ‘Holy Grail’
With regard to the roads sector in Uganda, the resources are basically the trillions of shillings invested in it by both government and external donors. To many people, the trillions have not resulted in the improvement of roads in Uganda. The trillions of shillings seem to be sinking into a bottomless pit. With very low levels of accountability and transparency in the allocation of contracts and use of the funds, the tragedy of the Commons in Uganda is a spirally evolving phenomenon in the 21st century.
Governance by deception: Does grubby Museveni have to cling to discredited top-down economic model to rule Uganda?
Everything is deception. The sale of public assets by the NRM/A was deception. It was stated the aim was to enhance efficiency but instead they ended up in the hands of government functionaries and their fronts, usually Indians.
