As we embark on the journey, to a new financial year, as a country, I imagine how it has been a painful thing being in Uganda for the last 30 years and especially for adults; with heavy burdens imposed on you everyday that passes by. Most of this pain is not even caused by the heavy taxes but by how our taxes are misappropriated and skewed to uplifting some regions while others are left to crumble.
In many cases you're tempted to think that there is a mission by our rulers which is meant to make us hate our country. But us, Ugandans love this country tremendously. Even when the burdens weigh heavily on our lives and in our hearts, we still remember that we were not only born in Uganda but Uganda lives in us!
I love Uganda, my motherland!

The unfairness doesn't take away our cheerful nature. We welcome foreigners with open hands and in our hearts, even in lack we share the little we have.
Our nature is unique. Ugandans go to Sudan, Middle East and are mistreated but we are happy to host millions of Sudanese refugees. We even let foreigners come here and fight over our land. That is generosity not to be found in many countries.
Even in the deepest of pain and you greet a Ugandan, "how are you?", he/she will always respond with a smile "I am fine" because we are Ugandans!
