    (New Vision, 2017-11-19) Buwembo, Joachim
    "Why are they tossing the internal doctors about as if nobody wants them?" my horrified maid asked them?" my horrified maid asked. She was on TV as usual and was following a discussion about the medical workers' strike. "They are intern, not internal," I corrected her.

    Many people are now looking at agriculture as a business. This is very good. Many salaried people have started investing in agriculture so that by the time they leave employment, they will have mastered enough know-how to manage their farm enterprises.

    It takes a genius to act like a Christmas bore.
    (New Vision, 2016-01-03) Buwembo, Joachim
    The minister in our neighbourhood now lives permanently in his constituency, so there is hardly any work for his maid, who remained in Kampala. Most of the Christmas she was in our house. On Monday, she came in and as she sunk into the seat declared, "Banange, I now respect Mugi!" "Ate, what has he given you?" blurted my maid.

    Maid wants to be MP.
    (New Vision, 2017-07-09) Buwembo, Joachim
    "Mzee I have made my decision and nobody is going to stop me." my maid declared as soon as she sat down. She had asked to talk to me which I found odd because of this homestead we are quite informal and she usually just shoots off her mouth.

In these days of economic hardships and climate change, we all need to be careful the way we build. For not only must we save money in the process, but we also need to preserve and protect the environment.

    When exam cheats become doctors and engineers.
    (New Vision, 2017-11-05) Buwembo, Joachim
    These days we eat our dinner early when there is still some sunlight because power outages are back. Somehow the electricity just disappears any time and with, you get tire of calling and begging. So we eat dinner early, which is healthy and, if power remains, well and good.

    When preparing for retirement learn the real cost of projects
    (Sunday Vision, 2017-07-09) Buwembo, Joachim
    Choose a project which you can maintain even in retirement. At some stage, sooner or later, the officer will have to leave the office, and with it, the car, the fuel and the allowances. Through some manouvers, he might keep the car but certainly not the fuel. Then the farm will stop being so attractive. Terminal benefits, severance packages or golden handshakes can only go so far.

    (New Vision, 2017-09-17) Buwembo, Joachim
    It is not all about money: since we started contributing to this section, it has been about making money, saving money, rationalising money; and money, money, money. But money is a tool that should ultimately enhance happiness, otherwise, accumulating money for money's sake could end in misery.
