The UBOS’ Principal Statistician and Head of Analysis, Vincent Senono Fred, among other reasons, attributed the high level of poverty in Busoga to “poor population planning”.

“Most of them are sugarcane farmers and when they lease their land for two years in exchange for money, they will be well off after receiving the money and poverty begins to bite as time goes on.”
