MANY ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE DROUGHT: WHAT IS THE WAY FORWARD?




The news from many parts of Uganda is the concern about the drought conditions.  We ought to know that we are the cause of the climatic changes we are enjoying, and unfortunately, though we get a lot of rain in the wet seasons, majority of our farmers (peasants) have no ability to store water for the drought conditions.
Given the situation, it is not wrong for the public to focus on Government for away forward as it is Government that can enforce the planting of trees, the provision of planting materials, the strategy to see that wet lands are maintained so.  One of the past years, in the budget money had been put to help farmers get capacity to hold water for the dry season, unfortunately, not much was done.
