Nsenene (grasshoppers) too delicious for ugandans!

Nsenene, a local name for grasshoppers here, is a central Ugandan delicacy as well as an important source of income.

Grasshoppers are a snack lured by lights, trapped in barrels, and then fried up in a little oil with salt. The recipe may vary. Their coming coincides with the end of each rainy season espicially in Noverber and mid december. traped in metal barrels fitted with a pieces of corrugated iron sheets, grasshoppers become dazzled by the scotching lights at night. At dawn, they are collected in plastic bags and sold at roadside , and in major markets like Nakasero, kamwokya, owino. So be sure to taste this mouth watering snack any time to join the end less list of royal fans

The point to note is that, if these insects weren’t eaten, their would be devastating effects on the environment as they fload in thousands each year.The huge local consumption acts as a control measure in a way to ward off the dangers

consuming grasshoppers or Nsenene which are rich in protein,is a good source of nutrition to the populance.

As a Source of income too: free if you can spare a good night sleep and sell them expensively your likely to afford say eduction for your children, build a house or buy a car with a good harvest season.

Am going to skip the little disadvantages here

KCC LOSES CAPITAL

THE administration of Kampala city is to be streamlined following the passing of the Kampala Capital City Bill, 2009 by Parliament yesterday.

The bill accords Kampala a special status as the capital city of Uganda and puts it directly under the control of the Central Government with an appointed chief executive officer. It has hitherto been managed by Kampala City Council.

However, the Bill that was passed retained the existing boundary of Kampala City and directly elected councillors and the mayor who will be be a ceremonial figure.

The Central Government will be responsible for construction and maintenance of roads in Kampala city if the Bill is assented to by the President. we hope this move will make the city mush cleaner and better run.

East African Common Market begind today 1st july 2010 as the EAC executives tried to play down worries by maintaining that to reach to the common market stage was a process, and that it would not start instantly. Doubts on which countries among the five East African Community’s (EAC) member states are either going to loose or benefit form the single market arrangement still looms high.

the deal, which among its core features includes a free movement of labour, capital, goods and services is still the major question among majority of people, who had been pessimistic of the EAC Common Market even before the negotiations for the protocol started and the time frame for discussions had been set.

some analysts felt that the common market may have come at a time when majority of the population were least prepared and some are too enable them compete effectively with their neighbours.

Bank of Uganda Governor Tumusiime Mutebile said that the change in the currency design is driven by the need to comply with international best practices and taking advantage of the innovations in the banknote industry.

"The move will help in the fight against counterfeiting whilst keeping the notes user friendly," he said. He said the new banknote series will circulate alongside the current banknotes starting on May 17.

"Both series will be legal tender and should continue to be used as cash transactions until the public is informed otherwise," he noted. "Therefore there will be no special exercise by Bank of Uganda Currency centres to exchange the current banknotes for the new banknotes, the public is advised not to rush to banks to exchange the notes," he advised.
