If in the ever changing system of governance I was given the powers to weild change and cause a shift in the social and economical development of this land; I would in three ways wish to uplift this land, not in negation of the other areas but in hope that development in these key areas would and can cause major transformation for our country and still cause sustainable development in the long run
Language
It has been said and it is still said; That no Nation can develop in a foreign language. And over time countries that have gained great development have done so in their native languages and have surpassed the cut out trends for development. For example one of the reasons that helped the Asian tigers to develop was their language and all development was conducted in a language particular to their Nation. Therefore I would work on enforcing a unifying language,one chosen by the people and spoken widely. While every tribe will have the liberty of keeping their native language, they will be oriented on using the unifying language as the official language of this land.So we have an inclusive dialogue among each other.
Education
I would do a revision of the available syllabus and work towards practical subjects and towards an education that encompasses the nature of country that we are, digs deep into the African, East African and Uganda issues of the past,present and possible future.
I would invest in hands on skilling, in technical institutes through equipping them with the necessary tools and spaces to provide adequate training of students in their custody.
I would also invest in free education,bent towards scholarships and grants for outstanding performers and underprivileged but intelligent students. I would also invest in research hubs for university students to help them invest in knowledge development other than knowledge consumption.
In the first two solutions,my target or rather end goal would be to harness human capital,to create a people that are proud of their heritage and know their history. To equally create a people that are greatly skilled to create jobs and increase on the job market of this Country.
Industrialization and urbanization
In urbanization I would invest in rural electrification and industrialization. I would push for industrial hubs to be created it of the CBD and have good road works to help increase on the accessibility of goods and services to the end users.
I would invest in a tube/subway system to reduce on time wasted on the jammed up roads leading to different industrial hubs.And in that way deal with the number of vehicles that access the Central Business District.
I would invest in Buy Uganda Build Uganda companies owned by Ugandans and also reduce on the goods imported into the country.
I would push for agricultural industrialization and work towards providing markets for value added food stuffs I order to push the farmers to improve on the end products and in the long run,increase their earnings of the increased value of produce from the country.
In conclusion, it is only a dream until some one takes the mantle to run with it and bring it into fruition. What our leaders lack mostly is the patriotism that they should have as servants of this land. There is little that is impossible in a society that has leaders that are for the land and not for the money.
So we dream on, we dream that in investing in these areas we will have a people for the land and a people with the desire to better improve their mother land. We will have better educated women and ready to serve their land. But until that day,may the children dream of a better land.
For God and My Country.
