Uganda collects trash as Sweden builds roads to charge electric cars
While the Swedes have given themselves two years to finish the electrified highway, the Ugandan urban authorities have been given only six months to ensure that all the country’s towns and municipalities have skips at a distance 200 metres apart.
Uganda and Sweden have such strong historical ties that even the two countries’ ambitions are becoming somewhat similar, as we shall presently see.
During Uganda’s difficult days in the 1970s, our people started seeking asylum in Sweden and many found it so good there as they managed to take their careers to higher levels. Among the most notable were two (now departed) musicians Philly Lutaaya (an early anti-Aids crusader) and Sammy Kasule (he who took Nairobi’s music scene by the storm in the 1980s with his Swahili hits and the Kenyans rewarded him with a wife called Marie Wandaka, whom he relocated with to Sweden).
