The management committee is in charge of the administration and management of the LDC. Among the duties is to approve the students’ results and this is under LDC Act 1970.
“They postpone the ceremony because the term of the outgoing management committee expired on April 15, 2022. This is before the committee could approve the academic results under process,” a communication by the public relations office for LDC says in part.
However, the PRO informed the public that as soon as they get new management, students’ graduation will take place. This is apparently going to be soon because of the need on ground.
“Once we are done with the appointment of the committee members, which we hope will take place very soon, we shall communicate the new graduation date.”
Last year, only 145 of the 1474 students had passed exams ahead of the 48th graduation ceremony. This instigated a scandal by the students who didn’t agree with this.
Over 90% of students who had failed the exams petitioned the LDC management committee headed by Justice Paul Mugamba.
Later, the management committee directed that they issue these students academic transcripts pending their subsequent graduation this year and issuance of diplomas.
They had scheduled the ceremony for 20th May 2022.

![[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.
