We eat our own maize products almost everyday.
All our insititutions are feeding on ugali.
Cases of cancer are on the rise in Uganda even in children, something so heart breaking. Families who have had a cancer patient will clap for Kinya.
The suspecion is somewhat on what we eat.
Could it be from kaveera used in food preparations?
Could it from mills of grains or sugar, or another of the inventions of the Europeans looking for markets of their medicines. Could climate change be the problem?What is it really? It is a maze in the puzzle!
Kenya is helping us understand partly where our problem is coming from. For the neighbour to tell us that our maize carries cancer-causing agents,we should instead applaud them,than bash them.
Secondly, MPs or Ugandans indeed must not behave stupid about this. Kenya is raising a genuine concern that we must take positively and lose sleep over.
Some maize farmers in Uganda use chemicals/spray the maize in their gardens before they can dry naturally. This, they do to hit the market earlier than that of their competitors when the price is still high.
You know how maize prices fall with a thud in just days. Instead of waiting to horde for good prices,they use shortcut.
It is not difficult to get to this. The vice I first witnessed in Kiryandongo about six years ago, is also in many competitive maize growing areas.
Even when govt invests in inventing quick maturing breeds, the farmer is still at it.
Govt agric extension staff,Lcs, and indeed all keen leaders know this.
It’s not the first time Kenya is
raising a red flag.
And let me tell you, wunga/ kawunga/akahunga/posho/ugali from an abortion of maize is a problem at cooking. It has no starch, doesn’t hold well,it’s teketeke.
Withdrawal of anything has never been a good thing to both parties.
You need to understand how attached to maize kenya is, and how a challenge without maize it is to our eastern neighbour ,and the sacrifice they are making by these hard decisions that puts their people at even more risk than not having bad maize.
They can’t just clear poison to their population because of EA friendship,or because Uhuru Kinyatta is chairperson of EAF he just smiles at the detrement of his people.
To me, this must be used as a yardstick to clean our house,and the good thing, the planting season is just starting which we must be there not just to watch. They are firing a warning shot about the upcoming season,and it will be stupid of us to have same problem-ladden products next marketing season.
Abuse of drugs, chemicals is bad as it sounds.
The EA friendship must also raise the quality of its people so as to compete favourably, or we wholly accept the third phase of colonialism, and it being by the giant economic hitman, we shall reluctantly but willingly bid farewell to any competiton.
Thank you Nairobi. By alerting us again, you are promoting PanAfricanism,and your actions must surely trigger patriotism in Ugandans to end vice in Uganda,not talking wawawa.
We must feel guilty and take drastic hard actions.
