The NRM is systematic in how it works. They do things step by step. The government started by opening up the country through tarmacking cross-country roads.
Soon, we shall have tarmacked roads at all border posts; Mpondwe, Kyanika, Katuna, Murongo, Mutukula, Malaba, Lwakhaka and Suam (Bukwo),’’said Museveni.
It’s only Karamoja which is left and once its done, all key eight corners of Uganda will be covered.
We are now moving to reduce traffic in the city, through this Kampala Flyover project. We shall also place a flyover between Busega and Kibuye, while widening the old road,’’Museveni said.
The government’s plan targets three clusters of people; Kampala dwellers, travelers and cargo transporters. This project will help separate these groups as we offer each appropriate transport means.
I thank the Japan government for supporting us on this project and others like the cable-stayed bridge in Jinja and municipal council roads. We also support Japan by buying their cars and other products,’’he said.

![[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.
