Necessity, they say, is the mother of invention. Countries
that have made significant strides in their inventions have known this for
years. Uganda needs to wake up to this reality. The story in the clip below shows
that we are moving forward but there is still much more to be done. Sadly, you
don’t get to see much government involvement in encouraging private innovations.
We have so much potential as a country rich with traditional knowledge as is depicted
in this story. As the International scene continues in its debates about the
place of Traditional Knowledge in Intellectual property rights, we as a Nation
need to do something about our bright minds and what they know about
Traditional Knowledge and innovations. If we don’t wake up soon enough to smell
the coffee, someone else will beat us to it.
