As we celebrate this Labor Day, we should focus more on how to create enough jobs for all Ugandans as opposed to discussing the welfare and enhanced remuneration of the few employed Ugandans.
Whereas the welfare and remuneration of the workers are important, the need to create more jobs and do away with unemployment is more of a concern for the government.
I therefore ask all citizens to support the government programs that are focused on job and wealth creation, such as the parish development model, which will help generate enough jobs for the entire population.
If we seriously implement the parish development model, we shall generate 70 million jobs in the 7 million homesteads across the country through modern agriculture alone.
There are two major hindrances to the country’s development agenda: the corrupt political class and the civil service, which either demand bribes or delay the decision-making process, which increases the cost of doing business in the country.
I am going to have a big fight with the corrupt. I don’t want you to fall victim to this negative vice. Let’s join hands, fight corruption, and be part of the future of the new Africa.
