Some Ugandans have questioned publicly and privately my motive and ambition as an author, radio broadcaster and demonstrator (I have demonstrated against NRM government in Washington DC, New York City and Boston). My motive and ambition is simple: to contribute to efforts that will put Uganda back on the right development path for present and future generations without distinction as to ethnicity, gender, age, religion or region. I very strongly believe that all Ugandans must move forward together and none should be left behind, contrary to what NRM government has done over the last 26 years.

Newton became very interested about how the world worked. He read every book he could lay his hands on.

School lunches are provided free in developed and developing country schools. They improve attendance and performance especially of girls. It was against this background that NEPAD (New Partnership for Africa's Development) adopted a resolution that African governments should provide school lunches using as much as possible locally produced food as part of agricultural transformation from subsistence to commercial agriculture.
