With China Town, Ugandans have found their level

Wait the day the Italians and Turkish set up here. Then you will realise the lie that was Turkish shirts and Italian suits. You see, someone once told me that you are never poor, you aree just participating in the wrong market.

I have given up on promising follow-up episodes. I do not think it is a Ugandan thing. Your PAM Awards tried; it also gave up. Then came those music video awards, and boom they gave up. There was that famous Kampala Marathon, it also gave up. You see, who am I not to follow suit? Except that I have better reasons.DM bodytext: My plan was to talk about the other factors of production that your school did not teach you. They taught you like three of them; land, capital and labour. But people, you think that is all it takes to produce things and achieve middle income? No way. There are other factors. Things such as high trust.

And that is why I needed to continue my Kasese story. Kasese people are among the most trustworthy people in this cow-ntry. The Og-horn dude keeps using that word for country, I am picking on it. See, I was in Fort Portal and I was shocked the people there who are now moving at the bukodyo of Kampala people. The boda guy will charge you twice the moment they realise you are from Kampala. Most places in Uganda have a charge for ‘foreign’ chaps. In Kampala, if you do not speak Luganda, expect that things will be twice as expensive.

But not for Kasese people. There is something about the Bakonjo. When we got to Kasese, we lacked quick means of running errands, getting to the hotel and then rushing off to Nyakalengija for the Rwenzori mountains hike. We settled for a boda boda.
