Uganda’s President, Y. K. Museveni is expected to address the nation on 28th April 2020 on the state of the covid19 pandemic in Uganda.

We expect the President to announce easing on the lockdown. Many people are suffering from what is being referred to as “lockdown” fatigue – a situation of being tired of staying at home, doing nothing. No work means no income. It has been a tough period.

We live in a world where people…
How important is persistent when working on a target?
They say, “going fast in the wrong direction is useless.” Equally, being persistent on a wrong cause or target will not get you far. To win, first spend time defining your purpose. Our elders say, “if you are given 10 hours to cut down the tree, spend over 7 hours sharpening the axe.” This old wisdom helps us understand the importance of planning before we do anything.

Unoccupied and abandoned yet when you look at the investment at that stage, lots of millions were invested (to buy the land and then construct). Sometimes on a single plot, there will be a couple of such buildings. The obvious reason for such buildings, which are mainly apartments or rentals, is lack of money.
