There are policy issues undertaken in Uganda either out of misinformation are complete misunderstanding of facts or simply in a corrupt way. For those who know the advantages of computers apart from those who delegate to secretaries even emails there is no good reason why used computers were banned from being imported in Uganda. This was wrongly got to, and it is likely that importers of new computers wanted to improve sales hence got to convince the Ministry of Finance otherwise, for those in the know, the computer monitors which are a problem could be avoided as today we have flat screens, but in an impoverished country like Uganda, one ought to be simply illiterate of how cheap used computers can help the people otherwise, this ban is simply ill advised and should be reversed as soon as possible. It is true that we have a number of policy makes who don’t even know how to use google. Uganda needs used computers without any question because we cannot afford new ones. Keeping the ban is simply doing a dis-service to the people of Uganda.

ReplyDeleteWe need to get the law makers see sense in the logic of having used computers around. The best way our children can study is accessing these used computers, we cannot dream of what we cannot afford. The law makers need to see sense and reverse the unfortunate law.
