OPINION: The Karamoja iron sheets scandal is an opportunity to reflect on accelerating growth and development of this unsmelted gem

The President said drugs bought by Ugandan taxpayers were on sale in the DRC and South Sudan open markets. These drugs are stolen by people known to many of us, but how come we don’t report these people in this racket?
