KCCA To Table Motion Today To Rename A Road After Deceased Business Man, BMK

Kampala City Council Authority (KCCA) is today meeting to table a motion to rename a road in Kampala after the late BMK.

KCCA’s executive secretary in-charge of works and physical planning Hakim Kiiza Saula, says that renaming a road after the late BMK would be the best way to honour him. The business man passed on last week leaving a huge business empire across East Africa.

“We are proud of his (BMK) legacy because his businesses are still making a big contribution towards the development of the city and has been supporting very many vulnerable people. Therefore, renaming him after one of the city roads is to keep his legacy on,” Hakim Kiiza said.

However, the road to bear the deceased’s name is yet to be confirmed. The request though, was made by the deputy speaker, Anita Among on Sunday saying he deserves to always be remembered.

She had suggested to take this motion to Parliament but Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago said renaming and naming roads is the work of KCCA and not Parliament.

“…but the Deputy Speaker of Parliament ought to be reminded that Parliament shouldn’t be relegated to the level of KCCA’s council”

Bulaimu Muwanga Kibirige (BMK), has been overly praised for his generosity and uniquely good heart. Due to this,so many people were hurt by his death especially because he is irreplaceable in their hearts.

This is the reason as to why they want to keep his name alive by naming a road after him so that even those in the future will know who this man really was.

[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.
