Outsiders may be excused in believeing that Uganda, under dictatorship, is now a land of milk and honey. Secondary Schools are in awful delapidated states and classes are half- empty or more than half empty because parents cannot pay the fees. School Libraries and Laboratories have no books and no science equipments. Health Services, under the dictatorship, in an economy propagated to be growing at a very high rate, have collapsed, and nobody cares. Hospitals, Health Centres and Dispensaries have no equipment and no drugs.
Babies born prematurely are lucky to have charcoal stoves as incubators.
Uganda's Makerere University and its Mulago Medical School both of World-wide fame are now, under the dictatorship, just a little more than a Secondary School and a place to train Paramedics. The University, the Medical School, Staff and Students have been denied finance and resources which go annually to the army and for the entrenchment and export of dictatorship. With the advice and consent of the democratic governments in the West, the dictatorship launched early this year a scheme to destroy quality education in Uganda. The idea is to lay a foundation for future generations of Ugandans to be no more than hewers of wood and drawers of water in the Tutsi Empire now being created. To have 200 to 300 pupils in a Primary School Class where there is no classroom, no equipment of any sort and under a teacher who is rarely paid and is severely debilitated by poverty, is a scheme which the dictatorship and the democratic governments are praising.
