President of Uganda Yoweri Kaguta Museveni presided over the pass out of 18 pilot cadets and 20 aeronautical graduates at the Gulu Airforce wing. He congratulates the graduates for successfully completing this course.
The exceptional performance demonstrated here, with the fighter aircrafts, is very commendable. This training is vigorous and requires a lot of coordination because any mistake made can lead to a fatal accident.
I reiterate what your commander said, always remain healthy and avoid leading reckless lives, but also urge you to inculcate four values in yourselves so that you succeed professionally and in life. These are; Integrity, service above self, excellence and patriotism,’said Museveni.
Government will continue to improve infrastructure, for instance our plan to construct 30,000 housing units for the UPDF is already underway, we also plan to upgrade Gulu airport to a level where it can accommodate commercial aircrafts. This will boost tourism and trade. I wish all the graduands good luck,’he added.

![[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.
