{UAH} Education under Idi Amin!

Information is indeed power. I wish more people that were adults during Idi Amin could write more books or something. Permit me to play devil's advocate, for a moment:the world has judged Amin harshly as a leader without any balance, and I think it's wrong. For instance,  I was surprised to read in John Kazoora's book, the Betrayal, that when he joined Mengo Secondary school in 1972, the school provided every new student with a pair of shirts, shorts, shoes and stockings. They also provided  them with breakfast, lunch and evening tea.....Wow! How did they afford all that under a bad economy as we were made to believe? How I wish I could read more experiences like this on our forums, because I think a lot of bad stuff have been written about Amin but ,on this account, he may have been arguably the best leader Uganda has ever had since independence despite his obvious shortfalls!
