Haa ha - Uganda is Interesting - Read Dr. Rose Nakayi to get it.
"And, are the railway evictions that were officially carried out to pave way for a private investing company in line with or a break from the vision of the policy: "a transformed Ugandan society through optimal use and management of land resources for a prosperous and industrialised economy with a developed service sector"?
A close look at the policy shows a narrow understanding of the role of land in Uganda: land is framed as land for economic development and therefore land on the market, available for and serving commercial ends. In the current policy and legal framework, land is to a great extent seen as a vehicle for capital accumulation, particularly for the accumulation strategies of a certain class, i.e. investors, industrialists, and so on.
This policy focus neglects or disadvantages the economic and social interests of other classes in society (e.g. peasants) and clouds out other, non-commercial functions that land serves in our country; for instance, settlement and small-scale subsistence activities."
