CHOGM team wasting resources

Aug 01, 2007

EDITOR— Mr Joseph Andrew Koulo’s letter “CHOGM organisers lack imagination” published on Tuesday was spot-on. Who are Maggie Kigozi or Gaetano Kaggwa if many people you meet in Europe or America have never heard of Uganda?

EDITOR— Mr Joseph Andrew Koulo’s letter “CHOGM organisers lack imagination” published on Tuesday was spot-on. Who are Maggie Kigozi or Gaetano Kaggwa if many people you meet in Europe or America have never heard of Uganda?

Who are these people when many people out there think Uganda is a district in Nigeria? If they have never heard of Yoweri Museveni and can say with a straight face today that the president of Uganda is Idi Amin, how do the CHOGM gurus expect to sell Uganda by advertising personalities? Traders and tourists do not travel to foreign lands to look at pictures of people.

There are even people here in Uganda who don’t know who Kigozi or Gaetano are nor would they recognise them if they saw them. Why is public finance being squandered on non-issues? I am embarrassed on behalf of the CHOGM organisers.
