Those against investors, think again!

SIR — Acholi MPs should give their constituents a chance to enjoy peace and development like other Ugandans.

Some of them have been supporting the LRA behind the scenes with false hopes that this would taint and discredit President Museveni’s government.

It didn't! Instead our people suffered hunger, poverty, death and underdevelopment.

They are now sounding new war drums and rallying ill-informed constituents against Government by spreading harmful propaganda about land.

It is ironical that the same politicians who have often complained that since the colonial era (and especially under the NRM) northern Uganda and especially Acholiland has been starved of development are now resisting investment efforts in their region!

In Buganda, Bunyoro, Toro and other areas people are willing
to offer land to investors.

When benefits come to these areas let it not provoke envy in those who want to spear investors.
