She made these remarks during a meeting with the Chairpersons from Central Division and their committees. They met to discuss the challenges they face so as to get solutions.
The meeting took place at Old Kampala Secondary School and National Resistance Movement (NRM) LCI chairpersons were also invited.
According to the Prime Minister, enforcement in the city is very necessary, however, they don’t need people who lack discipline.
“They are terrorizing our people. But we have a solution. We had a meeting and agreed to have cameras to be monitoring them. I will be in my office where I can see whatever the KCCA law enforcement officers are doing in the field,” Nabbanja said.
She also commended the grassroot leaders for doing a wonderful job. Additionally, she reminded LCI chairpersons and all the leaders in the city to support KCCA in the decongestion exercise they are carrying out.
“We have moved to various cities and they are not congested like Kampala. There is a decongestion exercise going on in the city, where we are ensuring people are moved to gazetted places,” Nabbanja said.
She said the directive to move people to organized working places came from the president himself. Therefore, it has to be implemented.
“The president advised us to gazette markets where these people can work from. All those people working along Nakivubo channel should be moved to Kisekka market, there is government land there,” Nabbanja said.
Chairpersons from 134 villages in Kampala Central said they will support the changes to improve service delivery in Kampala. Before the arrival of the guests, the attendees were trained in Islamic Banking.
They were also sensitized on the Parish Development Model and Emyooga programmes.

![[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.
