“BMK touched all of us, as Parliament, we agreed that we should not allow his name to die. We will pass a motion and name a street after BMK.”
Lukwago in response said the idea to name a road after BMK is a very good idea. However this is the work of Kampala City Council Authority and not Parliament.
“Renaming Wampeewo avenue after the fallen BMK is no doubt a brilliant idea, but the Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Among ought to be reminded that Parliament shouldn’t be relegated to the level of a Kampala Capital City Authority Council.”
Some of the people who reacted online said this idea is great but renaming already named roads is not a friendly idea.
“There are so many unnamed streets, roads including in Wakiso where BMK was buried. Even in Kampala BMK must have impacted other streets beyond Wampewo. It’s so tiring to see streets that already have names being renamed when there are so many unnamed ones?” a one Dicta Asimwe said.
Bulaimu Muwanga Kibirige (BMK), passed on last week in Nairobi. He was battling cancer for four consecutive years.
He was a renowned businessman and proprietor of Hotel Africana. His death was a shock to so many Ugandans and it left pain in uncountable hearts.

![[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.
