At the 3rd Conference of the Language Association of Eastern Africa, which was held at Makerere University, in Kampala, Uganda, on 15 and 16 August 2023, Dr. Minah Nabirye presented a paper titled ‘Made in Uganda’, and Prof. Gilles-Maurice de Schryver dealt with its counterpart: ‘Broken in Uganda’. While Minah focused on solutions to overcome bottlenecks in producing language materials for Lusoga, Gilles-Maurice took a more critical stance with three Lusoga case studies to point out the rampant kleptocracy at Uganda’s National Curriculum Development Centre (NCDC), which hampers any meaningful empowerment of the African languages.
