Lanek who has turned himself into some sort of weird character with his awkward antics took to the streets to make these utterances. He further added that they have given schools and other sectors a clear program.
The entertainment sector however still hangs in the air as they don’t know anything pertaining to their line of work.
Lanek further pleaded with President Museveni to open the industry because they have done everything required of them. He cited how some artists have started organizing concerts outside Uganda and flying out.
“I dreamt that President Museveni won’t open up the entertainment industry. Bhat did we do to you Mzee. Tell us we ask for forgiveness. Schools, boda bodas, and other sectors are lined up for reopening but not us. We were told to go to Gulu and we went. They told us to join associations and we did. Many artists have now started to sing outside of Uganda in Mutukula. The other time Fresh kid was on a plane leaving Uganda. Please ‘father’ reopen us too,” a comical Lanek pleaded on one of the Kampala streets.
President Museveni will address the nation on Friday 31st December 2021. It’s through this address that many also expect him to give a clear road map on the reopening of the economy.
There are however some fears that the president could impose a 21-day lockdown because of the surging cases of COVID-19.

![[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.
