So the question is who is justifying the laws that workplaces are imposing on their workers. If no one is justifying them, who is protecting workers from this mandatory vaccination that is supposed to be by choice. Last week Victoria University published a letter to all its staff informing them that they should take the jab or lose their jobs. Many people came out to criticize this move calling it unfair.
However, a lot of things should be put into consideration on both sides. First of all it’s important for all Ugandans to get vaccinated for purposes of immunity when the virus attacks. On the other hand, getting the vaccine is not a guarantee that you’re safe from the virus. People have also not been fully educated about this vaccine and how it works.
Besides the fears of what could happen after the vaccination, the doctors and health workers have said little about the same. This has left room for a lot of anticipation from sources that are so unprofessional. Otherwise, people would not be dragged to get the vaccine but rather they would be compelled to do so. All in all, everyone seems right in their own way.

![[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.
