During the Labor Day and St. Joseph the Worker celebrations yesterday, Bishop Robert Muhiirwa of Fort Portal Catholic Diocese cautioned public against the despising certain types of work.
Speaking at the Brothers of St. Joseph the Worker gathering at Saaka Novitiate in Kicwamba, Kabarole district, Bishop Muhiirwa highlighted how many Ugandans are unemployed due to overlooking various job opportunities.
He noted that despite parents investing significantly in their children’s education, many end up without employment as they solely pursue white-collar jobs. Bishop Muhiirwa urged individuals to embrace vocational skills as a means to combat unemployment.
Quoting the New Vision, Bishop Muhiirwa pointed out that 17,000 people die annually due to alcoholism, often attributed to unemployment. He advocated for a shift in mindset among the public to address this issue.
Museveni Insists that Unemployment doesn’t exist in Uganda
Bishop Muhiirwa’s comment on despising jobs as the main cause of unemployment, comes at a time when President Museveni Insists that there is no lack of Jobs in the country, but rather lack of vision.
“Don’t tell me about lack of jobs, rather tell me lack of vision and a poor attitude towards work” President Museveni rallied Ugandans .
While Addressing myriads of people gathered today for International Labor Day celebrated at Mukabura grounds in Fort Portal City, Museveni explained that Ugandans lack a vision, a reason many lament about the lack of jobs yet the jobs are available.
“Children who go to work for Arabs shouldn’t be going because Jobs are Countries that have no jobs are Countries that are poor. Uganda is not a poor country
