The country remained peaceful because of God, said President Museveni Yoweri in his New Year’s address on December 31.
He was addressing the country from his rural home in Rwakitura.
Museveni, 80, added that “a strong army, the other sister security services, and a supportive population” made Uganda peaceful throughout last year.
Agriculture and coffee
In order to support both modes of agriculture–intensive and extensive–the NRM liberated our Research Scientists from the tyranny of the past regimes and, recently, we have started paying them well in the face of fierce opposition by some groups including the bogus UCDA that were misinforming Ugandans that they were responsible for the success of the coffee effort.
It is our Scientists that have developed these seeds. They have never been under UCDA. Moreover, OWC distributed more coffee seedlings than the corrupt UCDA.
When I involved OWC in seed distribution in 2013, our production of coffee was 2.7million bags. It is now 9 million bags because of OWC.
However, we do not only talk about coffee. We do not want Kaichokoomba (Kukongojja–walking on one leg like the children do when they are playing).
