Do not be confused, it is not about Suruma's magnificient strategy...
Although the headline might suggest that the folllwing article in the New Vision might only deal with the recently published new and surprising economic strategy, it does not. It captures two completely different topics. It is a two-for-one! It is a great deal!
I could not resist to insert all line breaks. Sometimes they are breaks in the rule "one sentence one paragraph". I think I should drop a line to the editor...
"Suruma states strategy
FINANCE minister Dr. Ezra Suruma yesterday said decisive government intervention was needed to fight poverty.
Suruma told a government weekly press briefing that 3.8 million households (74% of all households), which cover over 20 million people, were engaged in agriculture and their standard of living was the lowest.
He said the economic policy would also address the rest of the population who live in urban areas.
Suruma said government zeal to uplift the poor would not disregard the importance of macroeconomic stability or the role of the private sector. “Our credentials and historical role in the struggle to establish macroeconomic stability should not be ignored by our critics,” he said.
Suruma said the government’s economic policy was intended to increase household production so that the population can have more to eat and sell. He said the economic policy also aimed at helping households to find markets.
Security minister Betty Aketch said a foreign country backed the People's Redemption Army (PRA). She dismissed reports that the PRA was created by the Government to harass political opponents.
Aketch said in November and December 2004, the Joint Anti-Terrorism Task Force apprehended PRA operatives and captured ammunition and other items from the West Nile.
She said she could not talk about personalities involved in PRA activities because the matter was in court. Army spokesman Maj. Shaban Bantariza said arrested PRA operatives named Col. Kiiza Besigye as their leader. "
