It should be noted that this Ministry is under Gen Kahinda Otafiire.
Previously, there has always been dissatisfaction about service delivery at the Ministry. However, Hon Ssemujju says that the army personnel have greatly transformed this place since he’s previously been there.
Additionally, the Kira Municipality MP said that this shows that different government departments can perform well if the right people are hired.
However, most of the people working in different ministries dont have the minimum qualifications for their jobs. This has therefore proved to be a hindrance to service delivery.
“I have been at the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The military people have done a great job in the passport department. One can see a real difference. It is therefore possible to get government ministries to work when the right people are employed. Some of the ministers in the cabinet have no qualifications for their roles,” said the MP.
Additionally, Hon Ssemujju pointed out the case of the Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA). This is under former URA boss Allen Kagina and the MP thinks that she’s one of the best government employees.
The MP added that before Kagina came in, UNRA was just a failed organization for making black shady deals. However, she has tremendously transformed it and it was one of the best performing government entities at the moment.
“I think Allen Kagina is one of the best employees of this government. That is why UNRA changed. Before, it has become a deal-making center,” added Ssemujju.

![[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.
