Jack,

This particular "farm manager" is said to apply a "hands on approach" to management -read-"Nyampalarism". Its only a bad farm manager who doesn't inform his bosses (the farm owner) of the unpleasant sides of his duties.

 He should does this for two reasons:- 1. To help him negotiate a rise in his wages and -

2. to prepare his defenses in case the workers "Unite" in a revolutionary flavuor and try to do something about their conditions of work!

The symbiosis of the manager/gatekeeper and farm owner is one that Karl and Frederick propounded more than a century ago! Thus watching it shouldn't be neither interesting nor a surprise to us.
However i must agree that the farm managers job is rather an unenviable one. Why anyone would fight and kill for such a job is for me, the surprise!

Being a farm manager/gate keeper is a difficult job. The boss soundly sleeps as the manager has to whip the workers into line. The boss does not hear or see the pains and frustration of the workers or that of the manager/gate keeper. The boss is not bothered until the profit runs dry, then the manager knuckles is either slapped or fired altogether. The symbiosis of the manager/gatekeeper and farm owner is an interesting one. 

The Kampala Cabal role in its relationship with multinational American Corporations is going to be very interesting. 

As for the AGOA girls with nimble fingers, well they are everywhere on the planet.

Police beat up Vision scribes over AGOA 

The custodians of the law turned into perpetrators of violence when they beat up three New Vision journalists at the Tristar Apparel factory in Bugolobi yesterday, reports Charles Musisi. 

Police arrested and handcuffed the journalists assigned to cover the strike by AGOA girls, confiscated a new digital camera belonging to the company and the scribes' notebooks. 

"Why are you taking the photographs? Who gave you permission?" the policemen asked. 

Albert Ayiga refused to surrender his camera. He passed it on to his colleague Solomon Muyita who handed it over to Raymond Mikah all in rapid succession. 

Mikah broke into a marathon with three security men in hot pursuit. They caught up with him near the Shell Bugolobi fuel filling station where he was ! grabbed by the waist and dragged to the factory as the policemen kicke d and slapped him. Mikah was left limping and his mobile phone destroyed. 

Jinja Road Police commander Pius Mutabazi! and Benjamin Namanya, the Mobile Police boss witnessed the incident. Other security men battered Muyita and Ondoga. 

"You are nothing. you can die and nothing is done about it. Do you know how many we have killed?" a plain-clothes security operative said. A crowd, which looked on in shock, was dispersed by the police. 

The three journalists were released from Jinja Road Police after the intervention of police spokesman Asuman Mugenyi . 

"They said they were acting on orders from above as they beat us," Muyita said.
