President\nYoweri Museveni has urged Ugandans to fully differentiate national development\ninfrastructures and household income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He\nreminded the people in the country that household income is more important than\ndevelopment infrastructures because a family, which derives an income from\nproduction undertakings, is able to provide for its needs with or without the\npresence of government development infrastructures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
President\nMuseveni made the remarks yesterday at Ngoma Sub-County grounds in Nakaseke\nDistrict at a public rally that on his on-going nationwide campaign to sensitize\nthe population to eradicate household poverty and job creation through modern\ncommercial agriculture as well as the danger posed by continued land fragmentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr.\nMuseveni, who had just returned from Kenya from a COMESA Summit, said that\nalthough government is on the right track in the provision of development\ninfrastructure such as roads, power, water, education and health facilities, among\nothers, if the population fails to utilise them and work to raise income and\nbanish household poverty, Uganda will not achieve its much desired development\nand prosperity agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDevelopment\ninfrastructure are for all and benefit only those in production but household\nincome is for individual households making it very important than\ninfrastructures,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He,\ntherefore, urged Ugandans to engage in modern profit-oriented agriculture with\nemphasis on high yielding produce especially the people who have small land\nholdings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He\nused the occasion to commend the people of Ngoma Sub-County and the neighbouring\nSub-Counties in the Central Region\u2019s Nakaseke District for adhering to the\ngovernment call to adopt modern agricultural practices, especially dairy\nfarming, that has seen them boost their earning capacity and made their living\nstandard better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He,\nhowever, appealed to them to adopt zero grazing in an attempt to optimally\nutilise their landholdings so as to derive more economic benefits from their\nefforts. He informed them that whereas one square mile of land only grazes 300\nheads of cattle on free range, the same acreage can graze over 5,000 heads of\ncattle if one takes up zero grazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He further advised them to diversify their means of production and add fruit, coffee, poultry and piggery farming to supplement dairy farming to realize better and higher earnings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also asked the population to be mindful of their health and care about what they consume, check body weight and mind their hygiene practices to be able to keep away most diseases that are avoidable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He equally used the occasion to thank the people of Ngoma Sub-County and Luweero Triangle in general for their support to the National Resistance Movement\/Army during the protracted armed people\u2019s struggle and later through the successive elections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He told them that their support was not in vain as the country has developed and that Uganda is on right track of transformation and prosperity; from which Luweero Triangle has also benefited. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
