Hon. Wafula Oguttu, leader of the Opposition, talked of the status of agriculture in Uganda over the last 30 years which hasn’t had any transformation comparing to other sectors like cities, education etc. He proposed that there is a need to transform the sector to allow the 60% citizens dependent on subsistence farming to contribute to the economy. Hon. Oguttu also commented on the idle land owned by people with money and these are the people to focus on mechanizing agriculture. Those 60% own little and fragmented land that would not need tractors or mechanisation.
