She released a dossier on Friday reaching out to the younger people expressing her interest in the transformation of Kampala City.
‘’If you work with KCCA you put up a program and mobilize all your colleagues to beautify Kampala, to make it the most beautiful city on the African Continent because it can be, with the greenery, flowers, and clean buildings,’’ she said.
Kampala Smart City initiative intends to involve improvements in garbage collections and management around the city. KCCA launched it on March 28, 2021, by Ms. Dorothy Kissaka, the KCCA Executive Director.
The initiative also involves round-the-clock garbage collection and better enforcement of regulations against littering and garbage dumping.
Mrs. Museveni revealed that with the initiative, Kampala may thrive with good, clean offices and clean buildings. She said this would be good because tourists wouldn’t find ugly pictures of Kampala and go away envying Ugandans for living in the “Garden of Eden”.
In the early 2000s, Pastor Patience Rwabogo joined a campaign ‘’Kampala the City of God’’. Apparently, this was to pray for the transformation of the city.
This is due to the high crime rates and the broken infrastructure.

![[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.
