SUMMING UP THE YEAR
Tonight we cross over to the New Year 2010; events that have happened this year are quite many but some still haunt in our minds and live us with innumerable questions left unanswered.
These can’t miss death of characters like Brian Bukenya Son of Vice President, Major Gen Kazini amongst other important citizens.
The question that Ugandans are asking is how in the upcoming year we stand to combat all risks that would bring us into agony and tears as it has been this year.
We the People’s Development Party argue our government to stand equipped in confronting all challenges facing our country.
We do not want to see our people with there property perishing in fire outbreaks.
We demand that the government waits not for big figures getting involved in accidents to work on roads. Many roads, dusty, crooked, narrow, full of portholes and have no traffic signs.
We demand for the pay rise of teacher’s doctors and many civil servants salaries.
We ask the Ministry of Health to provide enough drugs in hospitals to treat our people.
We also ask the government to look for market of our farmers’ produces as the Sudanese market slows down as peace is trying to restore in the country.
We ask this government to lower tuition in public universities to enable our children study uninterrupted.
If it’s possible U.P.E & U.S.E programmes should be substituted with Free University Education because it’s better for a parent to toil with the children at the lower level than in higher institutions of learning. Helping a kid up to secondary and abandon him there won’t guarantee any future for that kid as the job trend today requires at least a diploma; the government should listen.
We want in this upcoming year to see the corrupt ministers knifed alongside other government corrupt officials.
And finally we want the prices of commodities to lower to enable convenient life for our people in the rest of the country
Otherwise we wish Ugandans here and in Diaspora a year of prosperity, financial increase and stability, security, good healthy and on top of that a morally up right and free society.
Happy 2010.
