In a letter written by Richard Ssebamala, member of Parliament for Bukoto Central Constituency, the government apparently has not laid any plans for after 42 days.
“We need to have a well-structured plan of easing the lockdown. The responsibility of coming up with such a plan entirely rests on government. It’s few days away from the end of the lockdown but until now the government has not communicated any plan of easing out the lockdown,” he said.
In this letter, Richard also addressed the Mailo land tenure system.
He says, DP is the only party that has protected customers and traditional institutions.
“It is important that we declare it here and now that we shall fight all manner of conduct intended to destabilize the cultural construction of societies that make Uganda. Upon that, we wish to communicate our dissatisfaction with the move by government intended to tamper with the established land management system in Buganda, the mailo land tenure system,” he said.
They say DP is committed and will stand for the party. Lockdown is officially ending on Thursday. After that until the president speaks, the country doesn’t know what next.
They have no plan in place right now. By now, the government should have vaccinated at least most people in the city but that is not how it seems like.
However, the public is evidently tired of lockdown because became of all the constraints it has come with. The unemployment levels are on the rise because people lost their jobs.

![[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.
