This is some good news to churches and mosques since they complained that 70 is a very unrealistic number of people to pray.
Nabakooba said this while speaking to the press. She commended religious leaders for adhering to health SOPs. She promised that if they continue like this, the number will most likely be increased sooner.
Religious leaders especially from the christian sector expressed their disagreement on the decided number of people to pray. Most of them complained that the number they gave them is actually the number of those who serve in Church.
Nevertheless, on Friday and Sunday, mosques and churches operated anyway. Definitely prayers don’t feel like they used to because of the new normal. Two people per pew, masks on every face, fear of another neighbor and more. For this matter some churches too deemed it right not to open for now.
They said there is no way they could have only 70 people because they wouldn’t know how to select who prays and who waits. Most of them are waiting for the president to increase the number the next time he will speak. Currently, the spiritual sector is still taking advantage of social Media, Televisions and Radios to reach their sheep.

![[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.
