Grasshopper

Grasshoppers are a delicious for some Ugandans, normally this time of the year you will not find many on the market. November is the main season. When the wings and legs are removed in November you could buy a half litre cup for 500/= now in some parts of Kampala it costs 2500/=. You do not need oil to fry these insects their fat is enough to produce a delicious meal.

14 days back the price of diesel was slightly higher than that of petro, now the price is much higher. With the rains making the roads in the country side difficult to move on and the high price of diesel, purchasing food item may become hard for ordinary people in the near future.

No easy task

This iron horse, if it were able to talk it would cry for merrcy. I wonder if the person who made this bicycle imaged how much load it carries. Well to the owner this horse means alot to him and his family. He earns a living from fetching clean spring water and sells it to earn a living. His bicycle can carry nine, 20 litre jerrycans at one go. Each 20 litres jellycan of water costs 300/= when the national grid is supplying and 500/= when the suppy is off and higher when the demand grows due to dry periods. One thing is having merrcy on horse but the other thing is having concern on the future health of the individual who pushes this bike from the first day of January to the last day of December. I have seen this guy do this job for over five years. It only on weekends that his children help him with the pushing, when they are off from school.

Strange!! The price of diesel has always been less than that of petro. Today diesel is slightly high in Kampala the main city. I hope the price does not continue going higher. If it does life may become harder for ordinary Ugandans.
