How profiteering from HIV/AIDS Killed Millions By Lambert Rusoke Standing on the lake shores of Lake Victoria in the villages of Kasensero in Rakai District,the evening waves blow away. From a distance,the local fishermen are seen laying their traps(nets),preparing for an overnight of prey catching.This is their life.This is their economic activity,and none seems bothered by  the "strange" onlookers,who're  admiring the way the nets are being laid ,or acknowledging the strength that these fishermen have,to be out there in the waters,on canoes that have no life jackets,and yet its business as usual for the  folks. But beyond this rather summarily observation,is a well scripted,informative,touching,and sad account ,for the roots of HIV/AIDS at Kasensero,by a man who has been right at the forefront of the HIV/AIDS fight.

By Lambert Rusoke Jubireewo, Jubireewo, Jubireewo.Twentyfive years on the throne for Buganda King, Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II .What a journey it has been. Smooth, bumby, narrows today, expands the next, full of adventure and techy savy dynamics, and yet still sticking to the old cultural values and norms that Buganda Kingdom has identified with times on end. But one man that has stood out to narrate the Kingdom's story is, Katikiro Charles Peter Mayiga. And his book, "King On The Throne", digests well the nitty grity of the Kingdom affairs. Mayiga, presents himself as a faithful son, that has taken  on the trouble to read his father's lips. Such that when his turn to eat comes, he does exactly what the elder potrayed. Here is a book written by a man known for his super oratory skills. And yet his writism in this book, blends so well with a lay man just as when he is on the podium. Simple English, easy to follow narrations and at large, a good account of chro...
