I’m Sure We Are Not Yet In The Middle Income Status, Imam Kasozi

Imam Kasozi, a political analyst, has said he is sure the country has not yet reached middle-income status. He said this in reaction to the President’s speech where he stated that the country has reached middle-income status.

Imam Kasozi says government has added nothing to the education sector for starters, apart from increasing teachers’ salaries.

“You remember, the entrance points for the lower-middle-income status, is USD 1036. We have now passed that figure. Congratulations. You can see that the size of the economy, when compared to the population that is always growing fast, has continued to grow and we have arrived at the boundary point as far as the middle-income status is concerned,” the president said in a televised address to the nation a few days ago.

A number of people questioned the authenticity of this statement. Joel Senyonyi says this is just a big joke because the country is far from what the president is claiming.

Much as many have complained though, the president has not in any way reacted to the people talking about his speech.

However, looking at the state in which the country is in right now, it’s really hard to explain how the country is in middle-income status all of a sudden.

This is probably the reason why many people are rubbishing the President’s communication. Perhaps if they see something tangible, they will believe.
