Passenger transport in the country will be limited only to African Bus owners and African Bus Companies.
(v) TOWNDWELLERS AND TOWN WORKERS
For the daily town worker the P.P. Government will build houses at low rents which every town wage earner can afford. Those who want to own their houses will buy them at low prices so that everybody can live in a clean and decent house at a price he can afford.
The P.P. Government will see to it that those working in the towns get wages commensurate with the standard of living in the towns. With such a wage the worker will be able to buy himself plenty of good food from the farmer who will also sell without loss at fair prices; the worker will have enough money left over to buy decent clothes for himself and for his family and still have something to save for a rainy day.
(vi) PILOT SCHEMES. Pilot Schemes on the Gezira model will be started in suitable places. One such scheme will be carried on in the Katonga Valley for dairy farming and cattle ranching purposes.
(vii) INDUSTRIES
P. P. welcomes the establishment of industries as a means of raising the standard of living of our people. But there will be proper safeguards lest these industries lead to a situation which will leave us under economic colonialism after we have achieved our political freedom. Africans will play a full part in these industries.
(viii) FOREIGN INVESTMENT: Under Self-government the P. P. Govern- will not allow foreigners to invest their money in this country, except when the foreign investors agree to reserve at least 51% of the share capital for Africans or for the P.P.Government to hold in trust for future African buyers. In addition, the foreign investors will be required to make provision in their staff arrangement so that a certain percentage of their staff right from the Directors to Counter assistants are Africans. In this way the people will learn business and join in business as well.
