Museveni directed that these stalls should be repossessed by the Kampala Capital City Authority. Babu however says, the implementation and management of government policy is weak.
“Management and implementation of government policy is very weak in government institutions. So, I will say they don’t have what it takes to implement the presidential directive.”
Babu says the most devastating thing is that these stalls are already owned by businessmen who have made it in the business world.
“You would be surprised that some people who own those stalls and little shops in the market are not vendors. It is the business people who own them and rent them to the vendors.”
Meanwhile, Babu said the history of markets is known and they were all under the city council and money was collected by the market master.
This means the market vendors were already organized under the Market Vendors Association. According to him, changing ownership now would just be disorganizing the system already.
Vendors have been having trouble since way back due to ownership of stalls. It now looks like it’s still going on until they find a solid solution.

![[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.
