{UAH} 70% Urban 30% Rural population

Frank Mujabi

You wrote here just a few days that actually Kampala was paying 85% of taxes in Uganda. I noted that.
Where are the industries in Kampala? I think you are a Musevenist, thinking that it is only industries that can develop a country without planning for them.

Robotisation has changed many things turning industrail floor workers into service personell in every 7/10 essemble line!

Dubia has no industries as it is with Quatar. In fact not each and every country in Europe is industrialised. Denmark, Norway, Holland are a good examples.

Urban centres in Uganda have therefore to develop based on compeletely different concepts and nichés.

Now, let me point out something:

a. Kampala as any other town in Uganda has > 80% of her population sleeping rough in very poor semi permanent buildings including those in Muyenga, Ntinda and Buziga. Set up housing constuction unit. in every municipality.

b. with houses /estates comes roads, piped water, telephone lines, sewarage facilities, power line, household appliance, furtniture, building material, paints, interior design (trade and commerce so to say )etc. This is what is making Kampala a huge economy because every one is building here and consuming those items above. Example: Umeme is servicing less than 700,000 people out of the 35 million people! 34 million people have no electricty in Uganda - what a country!

c.  With the above comes a huge service sector - in insurance, management, administration, gardeners, florists etc.

d. and do not forget agriculture since the 70% are not involved in direct food production they spend in food markets making the 30-40% richer in terms of skills; processing, marketing, storage and logistics besides direct production of agriculture products.

e. Moreover, the only way to save our forests from reckless agri practices, environmental catastrophy, land fragmentation (Buganda land trade), save our flora and fauna we will by all means have to reduce the rural population. (rocket science?!)

Let me tell you something:
 
there are about 9000 baganda boda boda riders out of 13000 as per avaliable data.
On the above basis, virtually all University Educated Uganda Youth < 80% are located in Kampala!

out of every ten less that 0.5% youth (unemployed ) think of going into agriculture (returning to rural areas)!

what have I copied - this is simple observation.

The government aught to make an effort and reduce the rural population to 40% and that is the only; agriculture, work ethics and increased economic activities can be attained.

These are the most innovative countries in the world http://wef.ch/1LuR6BN
