Museveni will be live on all radio and TV stations at 8:00pm. There have been rumors of a total lock down on top of all the frustration going on.
Meanwhile, as the public we have a lot of expectations besides the rumors of lockdown. The president should address the issue of high covid charges.
He clearly has the authority to do something and he is in a very good position. It is absurd for people to spend that high amount of money on a disease that is still pressing the world.
Even the health workers issues should be addressed before they get out of hand. Health workers said they don’t have enough material to use while treating Civic patients. This is definitely putting them at risk of contracting the virus.
Some of the health workers have actually put down tools that spell alarm in the country. Unfortunately, a great number of health workers have contracted the virus.
Leaving that aside, the task force has been proposing a 14 day total lockdown. This may entail, closure of public transport. Curfew may probably be at 7:00pm.
Whether this is a good idea, we are not sure because when you look at both sides, they are right and wrong. A lockdown right now spells danger for the economy but may be good for the health sector.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
