Since then the Musicians, bar owners, promoters and others have complained to the government about this. Probably the government has now thought about this and given them some a green light.
Though the ban has been lifted, still some restrictions that have to be observed. Concerts are to take place in wide spaces that can allow social distancing and all other SOPs.
The time frame that has been given is from 7am to 7pm. For starters this is very good especially because we are in the festive season.
It should be remembered that by the time lock down was announced, it was Easter period and some promoters and musicians made so many losses because concerts didn’t happen.
After that there were so many big days that just came and went like there was no entertainment industry. Musicians had resorted to online concerts to keep in touch with their fans.
However at the time it has come, musicians had been complaining about Nigeria’s Omaly’s concert in Munyonyo that happened during the lockdown. This is pretty suspicious, was it done to cover up what happened or can we say the government has listened to the pleas of their people.
Whatever the case may be, it’s surely not too late for shows to start advertising because Christmas is next week.

![[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.
