On 19th April, up to 2200hrs (10pm) in the night, I met some of the traders that are striking over Government taxes. These meetings and the ones I had with KACITA in the past, are historic. Why? It is because, they involve the debate on whether Uganda should break out of the colonial and neo-colonial slavery of “producing what we do not consume and consuming what we do not produce”, as one of the African Union documents had put it in a summarized way.
