The move is aimed at paving way for the construction of the Kampala Flyover and the road upgrading project. The EC spokesperson, Mr. Paul Bukenya said the handover will be handled by Justice Simon Mugenyi Byabakama, the electoral body’s chairperson.
“UNRA is set to demolish the facilities on the land to pave way for the ongoing development of the Kampala Flyover Construction and road upgrading project,” Mr Bukenya said in a press conference yesterday evening.
The handover comes after a notice issued by UNRA and Shizimu-Konoike Joint Venture, a Chinese company, about implementing the project.
The notice also has information about the temporary traffic flow changes around Mukwano Road and New Kibuli Junction. The changes will start tomorrow and is expected to end on 12 June when construction works are finished.
The two agencies also said traffic from Kibuli to the city centre will use the new Kibuli Junction. This is toward Nsambya Junction and Clock Tower.
Traffic from Kibuli to Mukwano Road will turn right at Mukwano Road’s new section towards Mukwano factory.
“Motorists from Mukwano Road to and from Arena Mall will use the new slip road access. Traffic from Ggaba Road to Mukwano Road will use the overpass section of the new road along Villa Park area normally,” the notice partly read.
However, those traveling on Mukwano Road to the City Centre will not be affected by these changes.

![[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.
