{UAH} Lacor Hospital

Allan

The first thing I did when I came back here was to travel around the country. What I saw was very disturbing - a country almost collapsing.

First I thought this was basically government and indeed it should be government but then I asked which peope are these in government since governments are made up of people.

 

So what was the problem with these people in government?

 

As early as last year I went to a certain private hospital in Kampala and played a patient but indeed I was studying the behaviours and working ethics in that particular hospital. This hospital must be making in a region of between 10 – 30 million Uganda shillings on a daily basis! But it has no beds and some basic facilities, you can imagine!

 

I had done a similar thing in one missionary hospital where I discovered that on average 3 - 5 children died in that particular hospital on a daily basis! Why? They were saving oxygen or medication so they terminate the lives of young ones as well as the adults! So this particural hospital has a high level of patient mortality! I wrote about this and Dr. Kayongo opined with me that that might be the case.

 

Have you seen public and private schools, one will build a school and decorate it in front but behind the school premises, people live like pigs! This is case whether it is Makerere University or a hih profile private hospital in Uganda. 

KCCA has tried to close down some of these institutions and buildings in Kampala until they clean up the mess. It has worked to some extent.

L'Kitgum recently posted something about South African people selling food in the streets and the like an article written by researcher Mutebi Golooba. Some south African now think the Boers were better! I and WBK posted something in reply about this.

Ocen has been posting extracts from a young British woman in Uganda. I was amazed with her observations similar to mine I have recorded. Akanga observed that Ugandans do not change, in fact wrote something interesting about it all.

 

If at all there will be change in this country – some level of dictatorship is a necessary evil. In fact dilapidation, neglect of public institutions in Africa is now a subject of intense academic and scientific investigations in Universities in the developed countries.

 

And let me say this – Africans left at their own, can't run big institutions. Why? We are totally selfish, petty thieves, corrupt and always in self aggrandisement.

Why NWSC under Dr. Mugisha, NSSF under Richard Byarugaba or KCCA under Jennifer Musisis are relatively better institutions? They are almost running the show Magufuli style.

It is exacty for the above reasons Prof. Baryamureeba was disliked at Makerere University - he tried to change the status quo - he simply had no chance becuase he was exposing the rot by taking cameras at rotten unversity toilets. Just that act irritated those who benefited from the chaos - and who were they?

 

This is the reason I am writing a book about Uganda/Africa sociologies!
