Kalangala. Teachers in Kalangala District have threatened to abandon their profession and venture into oil palm growing.
According to Mr Sulaiman Ssenyonjo, the chairperson Uganda National Teachers' Union, Kalangala Branch, their plan is informed by President Museveni's assertion that oil palm growers in the district are better off compared to teachers. 
"The worst mistake the President made was to say oil palm growers are earning more than us. Such a demoralising statement shouldn't have been made by the President," Mr Ssenyonjo said.

What the president said
While speaking to residents of Kalangala at Kibanga Primary School play ground on September 6, Mr Museveni said oil palm had become a lucrative business on the island and wondered why teachers don't embrace it to supplement their salaries. 
However, the district chairperson, Willy Lugoloobi, said the President made the statement in good faith and urged teachers to embrace oil palm growing as a supplementary income generating activity. 
This comes after six primary school teachers in the district resigned their jobs to ride boda bodas.

Tolerance is a stage in civilisation!
