The King will later host his guests at his Palace in Bugembe where about 2000 are expected in attendance.
Loyal subjects made final touches on the venue of the main celebration at the palace. They erected a massive marquee and expertly decorated it.
Across the 11 counties in Busoga Kingdom, venues have been set up for the kingdom subjects to watch the wedding service and reception live. There will also be plenty to eat and drink at all these venues.
In Jinja city and different townships in Busoga, drums rang out throughout Friday as subjects danced, partied and processioned in the streets ahead of the big day,
Last evening, the Katukiro (Prime Minister of Busoga) Joseph Muvawala called for peaceful and responsible celebrations.
“Our joy and celebrations should not negatively affect other people,” he said.
At a press conference which was also attended by security commanders from the region, Muvawala revealed that the wedding at the cathedral will commence at exactly 11:am and end at 1:00 pm
“We call upon all the people out there to avoid thronging the road to prevent our King from arriving here in time,” he said
Jamal Basalirwa, the head of the Police Protocol Unit said there will be no traffic diversions on the highway. He noted that they decided not to turn the celebrations in Busoga into a nightmare.
This is especially for other people traveling and moving their goods on the highway to the east. He, however, warned that uninvited people will not be allowed at the main wedding venue in Bugembe.
“In all the counties in the Kingdom, the function will be live and therefore, there is no need for you to come from anywhere to Bugembe,” he said
The invitation cards that were sent out are fitted with chips. These will be scanned at the entrance to reveal the identity of the guest and their allocated seats.

![[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.
