Almost all the businesses were paused for a few minutes as dozens of people panicked to save their lives from a Chinese businessman who collapsed and fell down yet he allegedly traveled back into the country just few days ago.
Tension raised higher when this Chinese businessman collapsed around the City Centre along Luwum street in Kampala and different people were assuming that he was probably infected with Corona Virus aka COVID-19.
Apparently, those are just rumors and this unfortunate situation is not yet confirmed. Many people believe it might be true following cases from the neighboring countries that declared first Corona Virus cases which included Kenya, South Sudan and Ethiopia.
The corona virus epidemic has put the World on tension and was categorized to be a pandemic by the World Health Organization. It started all the way from China circulating all over the World in the past two weeks.
Ugandans are clearly alerted to always stay away from shaking hands and avoid public crowded places.

![[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.
