The Ministry Of Health on the 4th of June 2021, registered a total of 1247 new cases of covid-19. The second wave of coronavirus is spreading like a bush fire that it seems we no longer have control over it. The cumulative number of cases is now at 51006. However, just as Museveni has been saying, Kampala and Wakiso are in the lead when it comes to cases.
The results quoted by the Ministry of Health indicate that Kampala of the 1247 cases, has 812.
“Kampala (812) Wakiso (113) Luwero (58) Mbarara (38) Gulu (36) Masaka (22) Jinja (17) Mbale (13) Nebbi (11) Buikwe (10) Masindi (10) Dokolo (10) Kalungu (9) Nabitaluk (8) Arua (6) Lira (6) Yumbe (5)and Kasese 4,” the ministry said.
Recently, Dr. Jane Ruth Aceng, the minister of health, said Uganda, Namibia and Zambia are the three African countries with severe resurgence of the COVID-19 infection. Between March and May 2021 only, Uganda has registered 16000 covid cases. Actually, Dr. Aceng has been lamenting that all hospitals are full to capacity. The current move is to prepare Namboole for patients.
This has come just a day to the Presidential address regarding covid. Some schools have already closed down due to the resurgence of this virus. However, most of the offices are now encouraging their workers to operate from home as a way of controlling the spread of this virus. The question is, what new solution is there for this resurgence of the virus.

![[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.
