It would however be expected that at least one of the ways of giving back to the community it’s thriving in is by supporting the indigenous farmers.
According to a cup containing a teabag posted by the MP, the restaurant uses Ketepa Pride. Ketepa Pride is a Kenyan brand described as Kenya’s finest. With all the vast availability of tea in the country, scarcity wouldn’t be a problem.
The MP, therefore, urged Cafe Javas to engage them and tell them what is wrong with Ugandan tea.
This will help to add value and quality where due if indeed there is a problem.
“Dear @cafejavas_ug, what exactly is not fine with Uganda’s tea?? Feedback from the biggest restaurant in the country would greatly help to improve the quality of our tea!! Thank you in advance. @GCICUganda @Parliament_Ug,” the MP tweeted.
He further said that Uganda can’t keep importing even what she produces. The MP added that this is not blaming the restaurant but simply asking for advice and suggestions from it.
“When we get to understand what exactly lacks in our tea, then we can improve the quality. Uganda can’t be importing everything including what we produce. And no one is blaming @cafejavas_ug but when we learn where the weaknesses are, then we improve. That’s ma concern,” he added.
This is not a new phenomenon as many things in the country are imported. This is regardless of whether they are produced locally in bulk.

![[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.
