The first bank in The Ganda Kingdom
By Henry Lubega
Posted Sunday, March 1 2015
Before 1906, there was no banking institution in Uganda until November of the same year when the national Bank of India opened its first branch in Entebbe, and four years later it opened the first bank in Kampala, although it was later taken up to become Grindlys Bank.
The National Bank of India was followed by Standard Bank of South Africa Limited when on September 19, 1912, it opened its first branch in Kampala. And a few years later it opened another branch in Jinja.
Barclays
Barclays followed in 1927 when it opened two branches in Kampala and Jinja. In 1954 three more banks; Bank of Baroda, Bank of India and The Nedelandsche Handel-Maatschappij M.V (Netherlands Trading Society) opened in Uganda.
According to Saben’s commercial directory and handbook of Uganda, as early as 1949 the banking system had been established in Uganda but did not control much of the financial liquidity that was in circulation across the board in the country.
“Much of the money was controlled in the bazaars and other channels which were predominantly controlled by people of the Asian origin. These people played a key role in the buying of cotton.
However, areas where banks were non-existent, merchants in those areas played the part of the banks. This was through taking drafts in exchange for cash or physical items in exchange for hard cash,” Saben wrote.
By 1950, it was realised that to bring more Africans into the business there was need to provide them with credit. Unfortunately, the commercial banks at the time would not extend credit to Africans because of the nature of their securities.
Under Ordinance number 20 of 1950 the Uganda Credit and Saving Bank was created purposely to extend credit facilities to Africans with the aim of furthering agriculture, commercial building and co-operative society purposes.
On October 2, 1950, the bank was opened and by 1961 it had spread to places like Arua, Fort Portal, Jinja, Soroti, Gulu, Masaka and Mbale, taking only African deposits.
Building Society
Two years later, the first Building Society in Uganda was opened as a subsidiary of a Kenyan owned firm Savings and Loans Society Limited.
More financial institutions continued to open up in Uganda with Lombard Bank from Kenya, in partnership with Uganda Development Corporation, opening the Lombank Uganda Limited in 1958. It was this bank which first introduced the hire purchase system of shopping in Uganda.
It was not until 1966 that through an act of Parliament that Bank of Uganda was created. Prior to this, issues to do with money were handled by the East African currency board which had its head offices in Kenya.
In daddy’s scientific footsteps: With her 5th degree, Butambala girl lives the American dream:
Written by Joseph W. Kamugisha & Ronnie Mayanja
Created: 29 May 2012
PhD Holder: Dr Sala Nanyanzi Senkayi(centre) and mother(right) and supervising Professor(left)
Sala and her Daddy.
It is every parent’s dream to see their children grow up and graduate from university.
But often do you meet a five-degree holder, topped off with a Doctorate degree or PhD?
Well, recently the Ugandan community in Dallas Fort Worth not only embraced one, they also welcomed their community’s first and youngest female PhD holder in the names of Dr Sala Nanyanzi Senkayi. It has been a long time coming for the young lady, the daughter of Dr Abu Senkayi (PhD) and Sunajeh Senkayi, having began her humble journey at Texas A&M University, with a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc) degree.
She would later pick up two other B.Sc degrees and a Master of Science degree) from the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA). And then came her PhD in environmental science from the same University of Texas at Arlington, for which she wrote a dissertation on “Proximity to Airport and Cancer Incidences in Texas”.
Many people will be familiar with the adage that it takes a village to raise a child; that is what many friends and well wishers of the Senkayi family said during Sala’s graduation party. The proud parents could be seen beaming with excitement as speaker after speaker, spoke about their daughter’s achievement.
Emcee Frank Sentamu, added excitement to the evening when he suggested that the two doctors should change their names to Dr Senkayi Senior and Dr Senkayi Junior as a way of separating father and daughter.
The journey that first inspired the young Sala could be traced back to her childhood. According to her father, on the day he got his PhD, Sala ran to the stage, grabbed her Dad’s hat and put it on her own head, as if to suggest that one day she would wear her own. Several years passed but Dr Abu Senkayi did not imagine ever having the pleasure of participating in the hooding process of his only daughter.
The hooding process is normally reserved for the graduate’s major professor, but in one of those rare occasions when a parent of the student is a Doctorate degree holder, the pleasure and opportunity of carrying out this exercise is often passed on to the parent, which in this case was Dr Abu Senkayi an environmental scientist himself.
Sala owes her success to the inspiration and support of her parents, and brother Ali Senkayi, an electrical engineer. She is also quick to mention the collective effort of many other community friends and relatives who encouraged her along her academic journey.
Dr Abu Senkayi, an official Buganda Kingdom representative in North America, also mentioned that Sala had been involved in planning for Buganda cultural activities in Dallas. In 2001, young as she was, Sala played a prominent role during Kabaka Ronald Mutebi’s, visit to Dallas. The same was the case when the Nnabagereka of Buganda, Sylvia Nnaginda, visited in 2005.
The Senkayi family, originally from Kibibi in Butambala, left Uganda in the 1970s and settled in the United States. They visit Uganda regularly and were here only last December, to participate in the Ugandan Diaspora conference the Serena Hotel. Dr Sala is also an active community organizer who spends time going to schools and colleges to talk about Environmental protection.
Besides her commitment to the community, Sala maintains a full time job in the same office block and department with her father, at the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Her EPA mentor proudly noted, during the evening graduation dinner, that Sala is “a very dedicated girl, who takes her job very seriously and devotes a lot of time into everything she does.”
Before Sala joined her father as an EPA employee, the father remembers bringing her to the office on special days when employees are allowed to bring their children to the office. One could say that all this gave the little girl some early inspiration to follow in her dad’s footsteps.
But when asked why she chose environmental science Sala said: “I’m not trying to follow my dad’s footsteps per se, because I like Biology and my dad is a soil scientist. But I also like my dad because he is a cool guy!”
Sala says she enjoys her work environmental protection, and her fellowship in the Ugandan community. “Getting a degree is just part of the story” she says. “Making friends, helping each other, as Ugandan community members to advance each other, is what will help us succeed here in the Diaspora.”
With her five degrees, the single Dr Sala intends to keep her job at EPA, although she could go into academia; and she still cherishes working with children on environment-related programmes.
“I can now say that I’m free at last,” she says. “I have all the time I need to live and enjoy my life.”

Posted Friday, May 27 2016
Kampala in the State of Buganda:
Kabaka Ronald Mutebi on Wednesday, 25th May 2016, launched a book about the struggles of his late father and former Buganda king, Edward Muteesa II, touching on Uganda’s history before and after independence.
The book titled The Brave King, revisits the stories of Muteesa’s exiling, first between 1953 and 1955, and again from 1966 to 1969 when he died in London. The author, Mr Patrick Makumbi, drew from the documents preserved by his father, 99-year-old Thomas Makumbi, who was an official at Mengo, Buganda’s power capital.
“I was very happy to write the preface to this book,” Kabaka Mutebi said, adding: “It will help the readers understand what Kabaka Muteesa went through in those days.”
When Mutesa was exiled in 1953, the older Makumbi, the father of the author, led a team of six Buganda officials to negotiate with the British about the king’s return to Buganda, which was secured in 1955. The other members of the team were Mr Apollo Kironde, Mr Matayo Mugwanya, Mr Amos Sempa, Mr Eridadi Mulira and Mr Ernest Kalibbala.
Kabaka Mutebi, while officiating at the function, called on more people to document what they saw during those days, saying “it is a good thing” that some of those who witnessed or participated in the events are still alive. Muteesa himself wrote about the period in question in his autobiography, The Desecration of my Kingdom, and Kabaka Mutebi’s endorsement of Mr Makumbi’s new book will be seen as an extension of the kingdom’s bid to manage the narrative.
Mr Apollo Makubuya, Buganda’s third deputy Katikkiro, at the launch held at Bulange-Mengo said there have been attempts to misrepresent history by “those who do not like us”.
Accusations and counter accusations of betrayal between Buganda Kingdom and Obote are rooted in a rather happy start, when Buganda’s party Kabaka Yekka (KY) teamed up with Obote’s Uganda People’s Congress to defeat the Democratic Party and form government at independence in 1962.
But the two centres of power soon quarrelled violently and were involved in what many have regarded as a critical turning point in Uganda’s history. The army, on Obote’s orders, stormed Muteesa’s palace on May 24, 1966, killing multitudes and forcing the king-president into exile.
Mr Makubuya said his grandfather was among those killed during the attack, an occasion the kingdom commemorates yearly on May 24. He said in addition to explaining how Buganda and Muteesa suffered during that period, Mr Makumbi’s book will clarify a number of other issues, including how colonialism thwarted Buganda’s development efforts.
He said Buganda stiffly resisted colonialism and the demands of colonial governor Andrew Cohen in particular, to the extent of winning a court case in London against the exiling of Muteesa. In all its efforts, Mr Makubuya said, Buganda was consistently seeking autonomy, and that the kingdom can “never” lose sight of this objective.
Mr Makumbi, the author, said his father could not attend the launch due to old age.
The publication of the book was financed by Dr Colin Sentongo, who said at the launch that KY, which ceased to exist in the 1960s, is the only political party he has ever belonged to.
The fathers of Mr Makumbi and Dr Sentongo met with Muteesa as students at Kings College Budo, from where, Mr Sentongo said, the three men forged a life-long friendship. It is probably much for this reason that Kabaka Mutebi warmed up to Mr Sentongo and Mr Makumbi at the launch.
Embalirira eno eri wansi w’omulamwa 'Okwolesebwa n’Ebigendererwa' egendereddwamu okutumbula enkulaakulana okuli; okumaliriza Amasiro g’e Kasubi ne Wamala, Masengere, okulongoosa Ennyanja ya Kabaka, okussawo etterekero ly’ebyedda, okukulaakulanya ettaka ly’e Kigo ne Makindye 'State Lodge', okuzimba olubiri lw’omulangira Juma Katebe, okuzimba olubiri lwa Namasole, okuddaabiriza embuga z’Amasaza wamu n’okuzimba eddwaliro ly’abakyala.

Ng’ayogera mu lukiiko luno, Katikkiro Charles Peter Mayiga yasabye abantu okutambulira ku kiragiro kya Kabaka eky’abantu okujjumbiro ebifo by’obulambuzi era n'ategeza nti pulojekiti zonna Obwakabaka ze butandiseeko ssi zaakukoma mu kkubo, zirina okumalirizibwa n’olwekyo enkola y’okunoonya Ettoffaali ekyagenda mu maaso kubanga Kabaka ayitibwa mufumbya Gganda n'antabalirira batyabi- ensimbi zikyetaagisa.

Bobi Wine's driver was a keen mobiliser who unfortunately has been gundown in NRM political campaigns:
By Eddie Ssejjoba
Added 16th August 2018
Besides campaigning for several Opposition eventual leaders, Yasin Kawuma also founded a football academy to nurture youthful talent.
Mr Yasin Kawuma of Lusanja, Kiteezi, Kampala
ARUA MUNICIPALITY BY-ELECTION
The driver of Kyadondo East MP Robert Kyagulanyi (aka Bobi Wine) was buried Wednesday at his ancestral home in Sango-Buwama, off Kampala-Masaka road in Mpigi district.
A group of youths rode motorcycles from Kiteezi to Buwama to pay tribute to Yasin Kawuma. They described him as a social, kind and hardworking person, who loved seeing the youth get a better future.
Kawuma's life was snuffed out several miles away from home on the last day of campaigns in the Arua Municipality by-election Monday evening. Eventually, independent candidate Kassiano Wadri was announced winner late Wednesday after beating 11 others in arace to replace slain legistlator Ibrahim Abiriga.
Kawuma was shot dead inside Bobi Wine's vehicle amid a series of chaotic events that unfurled in Arua as candidates scrambled for last-minute votes in a very competitite battle.
He was a political activist within the Uganda Young Democrats, a youth wing of the Democratic Party (DP), who had been campaigning for parliamentary candidates for Opposition political parties countrywide.
He had gone as a driver of Mityana Municipality MP, Francis Zaake, who had to campaign for former Terego County MP Kassiano Wadri.
Wadri contested for the Arua Municipality seat on an independent ticket.
It s said Kawuma was part of a group of young politicians who had been moving from constituency to constituency campaigning for Opposition candidates, in what they described as political activism to "liberate Uganda".
Batulumawo Kabuga, the Kiteezi parish councilor in Kasangati Town Council, Wakiso district, said that this time, Kawuma was invited by Bobi Wine to drive Zaake to Arua.
While there, he continued to drive him to campaign rallies.
Passion for football
Kawuma was a mobiliser for the youth and a soccer lover.
He formed a football academy based at Lusanja Church of Uganda Primary School, known as Kiteezi Soccer Academy, where he would mobilise holidaymakers and trained them in football.
Many current boys in his soccer academy turned up at his home in Lusanja on Wednesday dressed in football jerseys to pay respect to him. Several other youths revealed they had gained skills in football because of his coaching.
Multitasking
According to Godfrey Ssekabira, a councilor in Kasangati, Kawuma also mobilised many youth to abandon smoking marijuana and using other drugs.
He instead connected them to get jobs at service contracts, where they got to work at trucks ferrying sand, stones and timber.
Kawuma was a tenderer for Wakiso district and a service provider. He owned the tender of collecting dues from washing bays and night parking facilities in the town council.
Before becoming a service provider, Kawuma was also a property dealer in Lusanja and was attached to a number of property companies.
He was also a hire truck driver and before, he was a tenderer for Kiteezi Taxi Stage.
During the Kyadondo East by-election, Kawuma joined the ‘Team Kyagulanyi Ssentamu’ and was involved in the pinning posters and mobilising the youths for Bobi Wine during the door-to-door campaign.

The Central Governmet of Uganda has failed to make national education accessible and cheap for all the children in the country:

Kampala- The Ministry of Education and Sports has set up a committee to study fees structures in both government and private schools. The committee will make recommendations to guide the government on regulating charges in the learning institutions across the country.
Mr Robinson Nsumba-Lyazi, the director of Basic Education, said in an interview yesterday that they have been receiving many complaints from stakeholders that schools are overcharging them, forcing the ministry to establish a committee to look at school needs and guide the ministry on how to control school fees.
“There is a committee on fees chaired by Gulu University Vice Chancellor Prof Frederick Kayanja. It is looking at the fees from different schools and it will give recommendations and work out implementation guidelines. That is what we are waiting for. I think fees should be controlled so that schools focus on priorities,” Mr Lyazi said.
“Schools have tendencies of looking at many projects. They then stress parents to contribute money to implement them. Some schools want to buy buses. They want to construct swimming pools and laboratories at ago. Schools can’t be built in a day. It is a process,” he said. According to Mr Lyazi, they have received many complaints from parents. He advised head teachers to control their scope of work.
Prof Kayanja was restrained in his response when contacted yesterday. “I am a soldier. Discipline is key. I don’t want to comment on the report,” Prof Kayanja told Daily Monitor yesterday. But Mr Patrick Kaboyo, the Federation of non-state Education Institutions general secretary, has questioned the composition of the committee.
While he appreciated the fact that government needs to control the fees charged in education institutions, Mr Kaboyo said the ministry should have considered including stakeholders from the private sector on the committee for balance in order to have a feel of what proprietors go through in running these institutions. “Membership of that committee is purely from the Ministry of Education. They have kept it internal. We should be seeing representation from all sides. The concerns are global and we should have regulations on fees. To determine this threshold, it should be scientifically supported. Where is the fees highest? Is it at primary, nursery or secondary?” Mr Kaboyo wondered. In February, the minister of Education, Ms Janet Museveni, directed all schools to submit to the ministry their budgets for the last three years. The schools were also tasked to seek permission from the ministry’s permanent secretary before increasing fees.
“There has been rising public outcry against the increasing number of schools which continue to levy unrealistic and prohibitive fees thereby denying access to secondary education to a number of students whose parents are unable to afford the exorbitant fees. This compromises government’s objective of providing affordable education for all,” Ms Museveni said then. The prestigious traditional schools where most well-to-do most parents prefer to take their children charge not less than Shs900,000 per term even before considering costs of other school requirements.
For example, parents who sought admission to Uganda Martyrs’ Secondary School Namugongo this year parted with Shs1.1m in tuition alone and development fee of Shs450,000. In addition to these expenditure, every parent was also required to buy school uniform at Shs450,000 besides a dictionary, mathematical set, mattress, jerrycan, toilet and washing soap, slippers, sandals, night dress and a gown.

The Parents of School Age children are struggling to take their children to School after a long holiday of Political Electioneering in Uganda:
Written by Editorial
Created: 30 May 2016
Later this week, many parents will be in a panic as they prepare to send their children back to school for the second term. And there are many reasons for the panic.
For one, there is a cluster of parents who are yet to raise the tuition fees required to return their children to school. This class of parents will attempt to persuade their head teachers to accept the students with some portion of the tuition fees. However, in this class has some who are yet to complete payment of tuition fees for the first term.
To the casual observer, these parents are ultimately unserious about their children’s education. However, the reality is much more worrying. With schools increasing tuition fees each year, many parents are finding it harder to keep their children in the institutions of their choice.
And the government hasn’t helped matters much. Many bureaucrats, who send their children to better-performing government-aided schools, insist that the state has made access to education available through the universal primary education programme.
The irony in this is quietly ignored, as they decline to comment on the poor quality of education provided by most state-aided schools. Many parents are looking for good-quality schools, including those who cannot afford the increasing tuition charged there.
The second cluster of worried parents includes those who will have to endure several hours in bad traffic, to get their children to school. Poor state planning has meant that these parents will find themselves bunched on poor and narrow roads for several hours, as they head to the schools and then back, to raise the next tranche of tuition fees.
It is very revealing that for both sets of worried parents, there is no clue when the state will come forward to give formal guidance on how to resolve these problems. It is a clear indicator that as much as these issues are stressful to parents, they will not become a priority for a long time from now.
Bringing local languages to nursery schools in Uganda is only starting up after 50 years of Independence and 60 years of European colonialism:
Written by STELLAH K TUMWEBAZE
Created: 14 March 2016
The growing importance of providing Early Childhood Development (ECD) education to pre-school children from global, national and community perspectives continues to attract attention.
Recently, the education ministry called for a framework that would see nursery schools teaching in the local language. STELLAH K TUMWEBAZE looks at how this would work.
Educationally, ECD is a time of remarkable brain development that lays the foundation for later learning. Economically, it is more cost-effective to institute preventive measures and support for children early on to compensate for disadvantages as they grow older.
It is, therefore, gratifying to see that government is taking positive steps towards ensuring that pre-school children in Uganda get access to ECD services. For instance, the new 2016-2020 National Development Plan has two strategic interventions on ECD; namely, developing and implementing a comprehensive policy framework for ECD, and expanding community-based ECD centres or attaching them to primary schools for the provision of pre-primary education.
Hopefully if these interventions are implemented, it will go a long way in ensuring that more Ugandan children access ECD. Currently, ECD provision by the private sector is pro-wealthy and mainly urban-based, implying that about 90 per cent of Ugandan children aged below five are not enrolled in formal ECD centres.
One of the important issues that are yet to be properly addressed is the language of instruction. The existing ECD provision by the private sector prefers English as the medium of instruction, which is in conflict with the local language as medium policy in the thematic curriculum for early primary classes one to three.
Apart from the disjuncture between current ECD provision and the local language policy in early primary, there are a number of reasons why local language needs to be incorporated in the proposed ECD policy framework. I will start with the educational or pedagogical ones to be specific.
In Unesco’s 2016 policy paper number 24, published recently and titled ‘If you don’t understand, how you can learn?’, it is strongly argued that using the home (local) language as medium of instruction has a positive impact on learning. Children taught in their local languages speak with more confidence to their teachers or among themselves.
This increases interaction and learning becomes more enjoyable to the learners especially for those in pre-primary. Since learning is more enjoyable and full of fun, children will not look at school as an alien place which they should escape from at any given opportunity.
The use of learners’ home language in the classroom promotes a smooth transition between home and school. It means learners get more involved in the learning process, and speeds up the development of basic literacy skills. It also enables more flexibility, innovation and creativity in teacher preparation.
Using the learners’ local language is also more likely to get the support of the general community in the teaching/learning process and creates an emotional stability, which translates to cognitive stability, hence better educational outcome.
Teaching ECD in local language will mean developing instructional materials and learning aids in children’s local languages. If properly implemented, this will create demand for these local learning materials which inevitably will nurture the growth of the local publishing industry.
Currently, there is a dearth of learning materials in local languages chiefly because there is no effective demand for them; or simply put, no users. Unless local languages are given market value through educational provisions in ECD and early primary, no amount of policy change at school level can guarantee their use in high status functions.
Finally, local language in ECD will ensure that children do not despise their languages later in life, which the famous prolific Kenyan writer Ngugi wa Thiong’o calls colonial alienation. He explains that due to this alienation, children taught in languages other than their own tend to disassociate themselves from their languages.
These days, as a result of learning in English, few children in primary or secondary school can tell folk stories in their languages or sing any traditional song. This amounts to embarking on a journey of cultural death. It is now common to listen to speeches from university graduates, which are a mixture of English and local language words!
Therefore, government efforts in ECD provision need to be supported by providing practical ways of implementing this, particularly in marginalised communities. In this respect, Literacy and Adult Basic Education (LABE) has been providing home-based ECD in eight districts of Gulu, Amuru, Nwoya, Adjumani, Moyo, Yumbe, Koboko and Arua.
LABE’s home-based ECD provision targets pre-school children ages three to five in poverty stricken communities. It’s provided in the home environment commonly known as home learning centres with the support of parent educators (caregivers), their parents and the home learning centre management committees.
Children are provided with indoor and outdoor learning and play materials that boost their school readiness at the age of six. Learning takes place in the home language. Parents and grandparent help in telling stories and singing along with the children.
Their learning is based on the ECD framework, prepared by the National Curriculum Development Centre and it is delivered by the trained parent educators (care givers).

The Poor youth in Uganda are now turning to gambling for Economic Survival:
Written by Alon Mwesigwa
Created: 23 March 2016
With hardly any job to go to, many youths in Kampala find themselves trapped in the shackles of gambling addiction hoping, at best, lady luck would smile at them, or, at worst, that their losses do not drive them deeper into a pit they might not be able to dig themselves out of, writes ALON MWESIGWA.
At least one in every four adults or 24 per cent of the people in Kampala is engaged in some form of gambling, a new study has found out.
And those who gamble as a source of livelihood or to escape poverty were more likely to get addicted to it compared to those doing it for leisure, the report added.
The study, which was done by the Makerere-based Economic Policy Research Centre (EPRC) and covered the 12 months to April 2015, reveals that of those who bet, more than 60 per cent felt the urge to return and win more.
For those who lose, at least 57 per cent reported having felt to return as soon as possible and win back the losses. The respondents said the desire to make money is the major driver.
“It was noted that the desire to make quick easy money is driving the youth into gambling to the extent that some look at gambling as a source of livelihood in lieu of undertaking jobs that may require substantial time, mental and physical commitments,” says the study.
The study was done to assess the extent of betting in Kampala. At least 27 per cent of those who bet on sports do it on a daily basis while 40.5 per cent do it at least once a week, the study revealed.
The different modes of gambling range from sports betting, casino gambling, national lottery/play lotto, slot machines, ludo (board game), pool betting, and online betting.
The survey covered people aged 18 years and above, socio-economic characteristics and the status of participation in gambling activities. The youth aged between 18 and 30 years were more likely to engage in gambling compared to their older counterparts. Males were more likely to gamble than females.
SOURCE OF REVENUE
As more and more people engage in gambling, the sector has become government’s main target for tax revenue. Government has levied a number of tax measures on the sector such as gaming and poll betting tax, tax on winning bets, and income tax.
In 2013/14, the sector generated Shs 11bn in government revenue – contributing 0.15 per cent to the total revenue. While the gambling tax yield is expected to grow this financial year, the study warns that the presence of many unregistered gambling promoters and branches makes gambling tax collection an expensive venture.
Researchers also warn that the revenue bit should not blindfold policymakers to leave the industry in free-wheel.
“It is important that policy and regulation takes cognizance of the relatively-high poverty and inequality levels in Uganda, and to ensure that gambling does not affect the most vulnerable sectors of our society negatively,” it said. At least four in every 10 gamblers do not budget for their expenditure, it added.
The climate change concept should be put into the syllabus(curriculum) of all African schools on the vast African continent:
Publish Date: Dec 24, 2015

Common Sense in world farming advances that there is need to reduce green house gas emissions in developed countries by 80% by 2050 in order to have a chance of staying below an average temperature rise of two degrees Celsius.
Although the countries of Africa have some of the lowest overall and per capita global warming emissions on the planet, they are also likely to suffer from some of the worst consequences of climate change, studies have shown.
The African continent has warmed about half a degree over the last century and the average annual temperature is likely to rise to an average of 1.5-4°C by 2099, according to the estimates from the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Africa is suffering deforestation at twice the world rate. 90% of Africa's original forests have been wiped out by selfish and individuals insensitive to the green environment and its conservation.
It is estimated that about 620 million people; two out of three people in Africa do not have access to electricity. The 2015 Africa progress report, this over dependence on bio gas puts strain on the environment.
The New Vision reported last week that the United Nations Climate Change Summit in Paris, France, dubbed COP21, which started on November 30 and ended on December 11, had moments of shifting attention to live images of the receding snowline at two peaks of Uganda’s Rwenzori Mountains: Margherita and Edward.
The images, the paper reported that beamed into the summit by a team of seasoned mountaineers on location atop the Rwenzoris, helped show the manifestation of climate change around the world, aiding delegates from 195 countries in deliberations that resulted into the global Climate Change Accord.
This means Uganda is no exceptional to Climate Change effects and the country must wake up now to this threat otherwise we may “lose” our country.
Energy supply in Uganda is dominated by traditional biomass, with electricity and other fuels playing a very small role. The current balance between supply and demand for biomass, however, is very fragile and predictions are that there will be a huge deficit of biomass in the 2020s and beyond.
Although we have high stakes on sensitization on climate change through the media and other stakeholders there is so little time left to save the planet most people would do nothing unless we make it much easier for them by tapping the future generations.
It is against this background that integrating climate change in the school curriculum is ripe for the national curriculum development center in Uganda. We have seen a number of campaigns done in schools succeed and easily twinkle into the communities. The hand wash campaign in schools.
Educating future generations about the causes and effects of global climate change is imperative since implementing solutions depends on an informed public, for both societal and individual level actions.
The curriculum probably designed for Primary, secondary and higher institutions of learning would lead the young generation through a progression of understanding climate and weather.
The local impact of temperature level rise, caused by green house gas emissions, deforestation, energy use allowing them to understand that climate change is almost certainly caused by humans.
Climate change can have devastating effects on food production, higher temperatures could place further stress on water scarce regions and make it harder to rear animals and grow crops. It promotes diseases and pests, soil erosion by wind among others.
The human action still will lead to planet change like renewable energy consumption, reforestation this will promote food security and economic growth. The writer is a lecturer IUIU Kampala Campus
