One of the consequences of the fall-out with Buganda will increasingly be shameless courting of the North. On Tuesday lesser chiefs of Amuru in Acoliland trouped to pay homage to the Chief of all Chiefs, the Ssebagabe. Museveni, the Ssebagabe was all effusive with praises for the chiefs for embracing development. Museveni hails Amuru Chiefs. Of course, this “development” is about Madhivani’s need for land for sugar production. This is killing two birds with one stone.
The first bird is, of course, satisfying his major financial backer—the Madhivani Group and associated NRM insiders on the take in the sugar deal.
The second bird is winning some hearts in Acoliland on dubious development that has no long-term benefit to the greater population of Amuru and Acoli at large when the large size of land turned into sugar-cane plantation is considered relative to other alternative usage.
