The president of Uganda Lt. Gen. Yoweri Museveni calls for sensitization help on new coffee Law.
In his message of the nation following the parliament passing out of new Uganda coffee Law, Museveni urged the National resistance movement (NRM) members of parliament and other party members to help him in implementation of the law.
The president explained his concern on the new coffee law by clarification that the coffee market is for everyone not individually as political opportunist rumours sounds.
The coffee market including other farms produce is for everyone in and out side Uganda.
“Since 1986 Uganda’s economy is already rablized by the NRM leadership how can someone say that Museveni want to be the sole proprietor of coffee in Uganda”?
“President Museveni also says that he is still proceeding in both laws and political to deal with all politicians who blackmail him.
“The group that have been misinforming the public recently about coffee must be counteracted, and that should be the NRM people to help me to do that work” Museveni.
“The parasitic agencies that we are rationalising especially Uganda coffee development authority (UCDA) are disgrace to the country.
Uganda has been losing 2.2 trillions shillings to facilitate UCDA, as par now the money shall be used to construct more roads.
President Museveni adds that new scientists have been put in the ministry of agriculture for coffee pests control and modernization of agriculture.
Minister of agriculture Tumwebaze also clarifies that the new coffee law is intended to weed out bad practices, “nobody shall harass or extract farmers.
The coffee business man by the name of Kasujja reported that many coffee farmers have been suffering in the leadership of UCDA directors.
“Our hope is now restored as coffee law has been amended for the agriculture ministry to takeover the coffee farming matters”.
