Electricity; Uranium for Energy

A nation that does not supply or manufacture enough energy for it's citizens will never sustain fully it's economy.
And if there's any chance to increase energy development, we've got to do it faster .

Uganda's energy distribution does not fully require private sector involvement if we are do away with exploitation.
Always the most important and crucial sectors of the economy need to be in hands of the government to necessitate requisition and utilization of resources, services and commodities on affordable fees by every national.
This explains why it was a mistake for the only Hydro Electricity Power distribution government enterprise to be privatized.
PDP is not saying that UMEME has not lived to it's expectations and that it's services are undesirable.
This should be got clearly that much as this company strives for excellency in the provision of it's services, many Ugandans remain dissatisfied especially at this time;
Whereas being a business like any other profit oriented company- it's not fair thinking about fixing a standard fee on electricity consumption as it wants to do (consumption of 0-50 units for 12000 UG X and 50-70 units for 26000 UG X).
An honest company would continue charging only for what a consumer has used.

Ugandans should also help UMEME while it losses millions every year to those who consume unpaid power and to those who steal it's gadgets.

PDP advocates for gentle and polite approach to this issue, we want electricity prices as mentioned in this year's budget to be implemented.

We ask that the power project in Jinja be not delayed.

There's no problem building a Uranium Power plant since we have this mineral in abundance as long as we comply with the International Laws.
President Museveni should not give politicians as an excuse for failed government programs like Kaluma Dam power project.

Which way to go?

Great getting back to you after almost a full month, I appreciate your concern about me making it to my ambitions and that PDP is getting to power by the decision you have made to support us. Series of events have occurred but among the great is my Birth Day on 14th May, making it to 21 years; PDP continued tours deep in big and small villages of Uganda not forgetting towns. We have equipped a task force with a heavy machinery - I mean whatever it is to ensure Dr Abed Bwanika our party president gets to State House and that at least the party secures 70 % Parliamentary seats and I have to assure you,this is possible. We appreciate the work of media for covering us and we encourage the print media to offer us platform more than ever. I am here this afternoon to bring to you briefly what has been covered in today's Press Conference; Dr Abed has referred the Talk of the Nation's Address yesterday by His Excellency President Museveni at Parliament as Rhetoric and Recycled. " For resistance there roads which have always appeared pending in the previous budgets which he has promised to work on! others he has said are complete to the contrary." His Excellence the next President of The Republic of Uganda argues that Mr. Museveni's State of the Nation's Address does not reflect the true picture of the nation. The PDP President, also husband to Dr Gladys Bwanika wants the president to be in position to to tell the challenges we are facing as a nation and also focus on what the future calls. He attended personally this historical event yesterday Parliament. Former presidential candidate has not missed to make his comment on the Opinion Polls by Daily Monitor of different presidential aspirants come 2011. He says they have been designed to shape opinion and interest of the Inter Party Coalition (IPC). He has also criticized " Truth Every Day Paper" for being partial and an open supporter of Forum For Democratic Change (FDC) upon which he has stated that even when the Party President Dr Col Kizza Besigye coughs, to them it's news. He describes the poles as sectarian and tribal based which he says must stop. Meanwhile Kivumbi Earnest Benjamin, Deputy Spokes Person PDP on behalf of the party wonders If the legislators' passing of the current Land Amendment Law was purposed to curb rampart eviction of people. " why then the contrary?" "It's a shame that once institutions and Government for the common people as it claimed has not lived to the expectations of Ugandans. The Head of State whatsoever must not have recommended for eviction of Nagaru Tenants having signed a Law that he has always desired alongside his cabinet and Parliamentarians to pass in favor of poor people." Kivumbi says PDP is dissatisfied with the way people in different parts of the country such as Jinja, Iganga, Hoima, Nakasongora amongst others are losing land in favor of the rich which he demands must stop immediately. He adds that even the current debate on Land policy is likely not to be affective since people's hope have been shuttered so far with the existing Laws that have failed to be implemented. PDP's solution is to close the gap between the rich and the poor which will guarantee better life style for all Ugandans as they will be able to meet there basic and social needs with better income. "We demand that the government of Uganda stop suppressing people and equally offer loans with no interest to Naguru tenants that's if government intention is to develop the place.
