President Museveni has cautioned Members of Parliament (MPs) against pursuing agro-economic business ventures that have failed in some areas.
His comments came in response to suggestions that supported various agricultural interventions in contrast to his proposed 4-acre model.
Speaking to legislators today at Kaunda grounds in Gulu city, Museveni emphasized that the 4-acre model should not be challenged by other researched agro activities, citing examples like cotton, which he claims has failed the people of West Nile, among others.
He pointed MPs to the situation in Busoga, where people have persisted in growing sugarcane, a practice that has kept them in poverty for years.
