Sh18,000 is peanuts!

Dec 28, 2008

EDITOR—I read with excitement about the sh7m donated to the Ugandan elderly. However, I disapprove of the distribution of sh18,000 every month to every beneficiary. This is because sh18,000 is peanuts in the face of the present inflation.

The modalities of distributing this money are not clear.

Corrupt people are also targeting this money while state bureaucracy is also a stumbling block. I suggest a durable investment like Workers house and have an independent and professional body to manage that investment.

All beneficiaries should be registered as shareholders. Finally there should be an independent supervisor.
