Sense of Humour about  M7 http://www.ugandaobserver.com/new/ent/ent200708022.php

KCC should be worried more about developing for Uganda's sake and not worry about impressing the Queen.  Take down the billboards, or for that matter save the money on buying them and fix the streets, drainage system and water supplies.  If the KCC looked at improving Kla. for the people and transportation and sanitation then Kla. would naturally look beautiful to the rest of the world.  May be the question should be

"What is KCC doing for the people?"

it will never be!!! but, Chogm will have to go on!!!

man oh man, isn't it impressive how people continue pumping money into failing projects without accessing why they failed in the first place…

I recently heard on radio that Nigeria spent so many nairas on building a house for the queen, only for her to sleep in a caravan when she went there…

 

...we have grass, puppets, strings and puppeteers and everyone has to fall into one of those, choose.

 

Chogm preparations have done us some good and thats all (only the preparations) there is for most Ugandans.

Talk about KCC. One time I spent a nite in a local city hotel. the road leading directly to hotel was all deep holes. so I asked the manager why they ca not fix that road because we could hadly get our cars inside the hotel as they sank in the semi valleys. He said to me that one time they fixed that road. A few days later KCC came and undid it to the original state, telling them that they had no permission to repair roads and were taking thier jobs!!  PATHETIC Now it's as  bad or worse than b4.

Lwanga.... the funny thing is that KCC is right. :)

Thats life Mwattu.

how then do you expect Uganda to be ready for CHOGM  if there is such a high degree of corruption in the government circles. Btw ---- I hear that Rwanda is  doing a lot better on this anti corruption thing and that Kagame is very serious on anti corruption even if you are his close relative no joking - the jail awaits you for proper accountability of misuse of public funds.

 But in Uganda one is jailed and later on comes out on bail and is given a big heroes welcome and a big party to thank him for his survival ........ where are we coming from,,,,,, where are we...... and where are we going as a nation. I just wonder how the oil profits will benefit the nation if there is so much corruption among the government officials... ITS A SHAME ON THE NATION AND ON THE GOVERNMENT---------------- look at the construction of schools, health centers, roads----- its shoddy work and the money is eaten---------- FULL STOP.

Sad state of affairs guys! I hope that if anything our tourism industry is given a boost!

And now, ladies & gentlemen, we have greenish-brownish water coming through our taps. Give a round of applause to National Water and Sewerage Corp!! Won't the Queen marvel at this water when she washes her face in it?

kaks, you should have stayed put in feltham at least the water purifying plant was close by and you could see the water being purified

Am amazed at the different stories coming out for and against the readiness of Uganda for CHOGM

And now ---Mbu  Uganda is ready for CHOGM!!!!

Ugandans are serious at showing the world that Ugand is on a FAST TRACK to shifting from the THIRD world to the SECOND world and heading to bthe FIRST world especially as its hosting the CHOGM and as its likely to become the ECONOMIC GIANT OF EAST AND CENTRAL AFRICA -- because of the discovery of OIL along lLake Albert

Ha Ha! Now i know,you must be the guy who used to chase my grand father in the ''mimwanyi'' because he had missed one payement on tax. How can they be right when the city is half a''rift valley''. some of them look like world war trenches.

lol @ lwanga, next time you are in UG ask  for Ethel Birungi she of Chruchill Safaris to take you to Kyambura Gorge! I promise you your life will never be the same again. The place is like Noah's ark, there is a whole world happening down there! someone in our aprty his sheds there and the image of chimps wearing them is a source of jokes and laughter amongst our friends!

 

It seems that the heavy down pour of rain already being experienced in Uganda and in Kampala are only a test game for the real match of the November CHOGM meeting. How ready is Kampala for the CHOGM

And how serious are the Floods of Kampala beloved city

CHOGM 2007: Uganda Prepares to Host Historic Commonwealth Meet

ADMIN

thanks for this article.

Are the UG high commissioners and ambassadors doing anything in their respective countries to amrk this event?

Vision, didn't you know most of our embassies are no more? You chaps in the UK, what is the HC doing to raise awareness? From what I gather, not much is being done in terms of publicity overseas but I believe since many international news orgs shall cover it, we shall get our four days of fame!
