How best can Poverty be eliminated in Uganda?
Is it by distributing cash handouts like the current regime is doing? I don’t agree.
Is it through the Wealth Creation Project the regime is introducing and hyping like it’s God sent? I find this a poor calculated move with no information provided to support the project rather it’s a political project.
My Opinion
Poverty is related to Income Earned it basically means the same, you can only get out of poverty if you earn something substantially enough to meet your needs, this is certainly not the case for most Ugandans. Why is it the case if we have people claiming to have vision and taking charge of the nation?
We are probably being governed by people whose vision is limited to personal interests, have you ever been in love with limited vision? its more painful than losing a loved one.
Solution to Poverty in Uganda.
1. Increase incentives on Investment in Uganda to both foreigners and Ugandans, this will increase the availability of Jobs hence providing the youth with employment.
2. Introduce Minimum Wage of 1.8 US dollars per hour and criminalise black market jobs, this will increase the purchasing power of Ugandans hence increase investment since investors will realise market for their Gods. URA will also collect more TAX on Income since everyone will be earning above the Income Tax Threshold, quickly if Uganda has 9m people employed which is 26% of the total population at the rate 1m per month Uganda per person, Uganda will earn 22.68Trillion in Income Tax collections from only 26% employment of it’s total population.
Investors come to countries where labour is cheap but also where there is market for goods. At 1.8 US Dollars Per Hour that is considered low, we have big investments closing because our population has no spending power.
It’s a win/win situation People earn, Government earns and Investors get to sell their goods in Uganda.
Why then is our Government not doing this? You have the answer in change of leadership, visionary leaders are not in the NRM government, the worst part is that they dont want to Learn how it’s done elsewhere.
Museveni and NRM are a Liability to Uganda.
For God and My Country.
