{UAH} President Museveni on Privatization

Colleagues,

I pick issue here with some of our forum members who have been bashing some of us for pointing out areas where government has failed to deliver. Now the president himself has listed the same areas where there is poor service delivery. Can this honourable members apologize to the group for labeling us anti-NRM yet we were giving government a true assessment. At least President Museveni has concurred with us, I don't know what the squeelers will say next.

The president now says that "his government must now on start delivering services!" Shame on these non -critical thinkers who refuse to admit failures when that country belongs to us all but not any particular political party or regime.

This is part of the president's address:

The President condemned weaknesses in the health sector; corruption in the roads sector and across the economy; underlined insufficient progress in education, lack of access to clean water, insecurity in some areas particularly in eastern Uganda and environmental degradation.
He said even with the free education programme, some pupils across the country were still being expelled because of either PTA money or insufficient Capitation Grants. Mr Museveni asked the ministry of Education to alert him if the Shs900 billion going into universal education has no value so that he can divert this money to roads. 
Announcing that there will be no more privatisation, an economic structural adjustment policy pushed by the IMF/World Bank, the President insisted that his government must from now on start delivering services.
