{UAH} 35yr old curse

Today, many Ugandans have gained an ordinary familiarity with China
and made-in-China goods. We are enamoured of China. China has become
the destination of choice for our traders and businesspeople. We are
willing to let the surplus tomatoes we grow in Our villages rot and
then import tomatoes from China!
As the time for the British to hand back Hong Kong to China grew nigh,
Deng Xiao Ping, the then leader of China, stood in a remote fishing
village of 30,000 people across the sea from Hong Kong, and resolved
to build a new city that would surpass Hong Kong. Today, Shenzhen is
the richest city in China with a population of some sixteen (16)
million people.

The GDP of this city, once a remote fishing village only thirty years
ago, is many, many times that of Uganda. It took the bold and
visionary leadership of a man determined to move his country forward
against all the odds, and in Uganda we have one idiot who is more
dangerous than hurricane Mathew.

Here we are in Uganda, seeking to develop into a prosperous nation at
a snail's pace, with the naysayers summoning the lesser angles in us
and slowly but surely stressing and breaking our national spirit with
a CAN'T DO attitude and talk. But, we as a nation must reject
pessimism and be forward looking....

One Uganda, One People
