Amin outlaws unemployment
(N.Z.P.A. Rruttr—Copyright) LONDON. President Amin of Uganda said today that he had instructed the Ministry of Justice to draft a decree making it illegal for anyone to be without work in Uganda, Radio Kampala reported. General Amin said people who did not have employment should get involved in agriculture, “instead of waiting to become thieves.” He was speaking to Cabinet Ministers and military and security officers in Kampala.
The President said he did not want to see idle officers, or people who had nothing to do but roam about in towns.
