For this matter, he adds that he was happy that the process of obtaining a driving license had been streamlined. This will tame corruption.
“People don’t have licenses, others have them but they acquired them through the wrong ways. We still have a challenge but now they are telling me that you are planning to have everything go digital including testing to prove one’s competence.”
He pointed out Naguru as his case study for corruption and probably going digital is going to help much.
“There is that place in Naguru which I think is the most corrupt place in this country where they issue the certificate of competence. In that place, I don’t think that people are tested. It’s on rare occasions that you go and they test you. Once you have your Shs 30,000 or Shs 40,000, they will clear you.” Fred Byamukama said.
Corruption has almost eaten up all systems of the government. When it comes to the transport sector, it’s even more complicated. Driving licenses are given to just anyone.
The ugliest part is that this has increased accidents on roads because people don’t know what they are doing. The Uganda Driver License System leadership should tame this vice before worse goes to worst.

![[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.
