They made masks that they say could help them in the fight against coronavirus in bars.
This however, didn’t yield much results because the president still hasn’t spoken about it. The truth of the matter is that bars are so hard to control because of the nature of their business.
How can drunkards keep up with the SOPs as required by the ministry of health? Its a dilemma because on the other hand its a business but also a huge risk for the health sector.
Time to be creative
Perhaps now is the time to think of how they can make money even when they are not having normal open nights. Most of the clubs have space that can be used to host events like weddings, TV shows among others.
If they could redesign their work areas they could make money that way as they wait for the government to open them.
Bar owners can also use their areas to organize online concerts for artists. This is also a marketing strategy and a way of staying in the faces of people. Otherwise the truth of the matter is, if bars are to be opened, it may be one of those last things that the President will think of.
We can’t entirely blame him for this but every sector should learn how to live within the means by being creative.

![[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.
