{UAH} whether someone steals from them or not - that is not their business, with the life they live

Your right! And the only way one can have the rule of law work, is by having as many enlightened citizens as possible. That will not be possible when you have the population type we have in our villages. Now let me tell you something.
Nakaseke where I come from is just 50 kilometres from Kampala, where the sun never sets. But in reality people in Nakaseke are thousand miles away from what you and I are used to. Shops open at 11.00 a.m. close at 06.00 p.m. Bread and butter are not so common to many. Right now as we speak many have no food, they are climbing hills to ask the ghosts to bring rain. Do they know about Kalangala Forests?
Thanks to satellite television they can watch Arsenal and Manchester , ask them about where the teams are located - many will be blank. Equally the same number doesn't know the price of fish or tomatoes at Nakumatt or Uchumi. The life they live whether someone steals from them or not - that is not their business, for now and in a distance future.
Why? They can survive of cassava leaves and dried mushrooms for a prolonged period of time. In Nakaseke people are using pawpaw leaves (papaya) to wash their clothe, you can imagine!
And a bar of soap cost 2000 Uganda Shillings.
However whenever I go home, i manage a dish of sweet potatoes and chicken or guinea fowl boiled in an old clay pot, small cooking place around my aunties house, at times with mixed with bean and dried cassava leaves - nutritious but is that all?! I keep asking my self.
Will you invest or not?

It is more appealing if citizen town development funding is done with a cooperative sense behind it.
Our towns are in such pitiful and pathetic conditions to be called towns at all. Banks have no offices, yet there is land and potential investors. This should be promoted by the Uganda diasporas for that is when we will have a heavy punch and impact against small time thieves. Such funds must be channeled through international law firms not for individuals running around the stock exchanges or council offices.
Kampala stock exchange (USE) is becoming vibrant every passing day. It appears USE is no playing field for thieves implying that they are very serious about other peoples money. Have you heard of any scandals here?!
Super market Uchumi has also listed.
Uganda has reached the lowest ebb and I believe from now on, there will be new dimensions to such lucrative investments portfolios for Ugandans themselves. If I invested my money in Nakaseke and they still steal, I can assure you they will vomit it.
There are very good law firms here.

You have a wonderful dream. But that dream is only possible if and I repeat the and qoute " The rule of law" works. The rule of law is paramount in investment. Suppose you have this investment companies, and I want to invest 10,000 dollars. Suppose one of M7 grooks stole the money 9for arguments shake since the guy is a serial thief). What remedy do I have?
What laws will protect my investment? Will the law be applied to M7 et al if they steal my investment? or will the police just look the other way and blame it on one of the opposition?
Just look at the mess in Uganda? the only business i.e. investment style in Uganda is the wild west style. Steal whatever you can and fuck anyone in your path. That is the current Uganda.

Wonderful exposure. Yes Uganda must legislate new laws around town and municipal funding. In fact we should categorize and classify towns, municipalities and cities too. Can you fail to get 1000 Banyankole to invest in Mbarara municipality, if the concept is well packaged? Right from Arua to Koboko - this is a high earning corridor as it is with Gulu to Nimule. Investment is estates, highway restaurants and hotels, specialised motor garages, cold and dry storage facilities, will generate billions of shillings. Why drive to Kampala to pick goods if goods can be brought to Gulu or Arua with the railway right from Mombasa?

I am also toying with an idea of creating urban villages in WestNile and Acoli land.
