Technology Documentation Our Politicians have not put enough emphasis on models to have transfer of technology into the country, which includes skills, knowledge, technologies, methods of manufacturing, samples and prototypes for manufacturing, facilities and so on from developed partners to ensure that scientific and technological developments are accessible by Ugandans.
Development will come if Ugandans are exposed to these methods, and can further develop and exploit the technology into new products, processes, applications, materials or services to develop the economy. China started on this processway back in the 1960s, using all means at their disposal, and today they make everything -from military to spacecraft to the keyboard I'm using. The West did not 'donate' this technology to China, its was a great leap in the Vision of the leaders of China then that today they're a global power. What makes our leaders think that they can Liberate their people by waiting on donations? It puzzles me..
Traditionally, Africans pass on an oral tradition, linking generations through the epochs of time - the past & the future. I started this blog in my first year at Makere University, as a feeble attempt book the discourse of my life & family, because it wasn't written anywhere, except folktales. This blog has stood the test of being ignored, change of blogging technology and questioning its very existence, but reading this stuff back to myself, I see why I'll keep it.
