They recently started construction of the road that leads to her home in Bataka zone, Makerere-Kavule in Kawempe South constituency.
Hon. Nabbanja, as Prime Minister, signed her first executive order making the Ministry of Works to construct the road. Following Nabbanja’s orders, the Ministry of Works rushed to embark on the construction immediately.
They started with grading the bumpy George Kimbowa road from Bombo road to Nabbanja’s house. The close makes up about one-third of the entire road that is about 300 meters long.
Having a high-ranking government official in one’s area brings such benefits. This is according to Ibrahim Kibalama, the Chairman of the Butaka zone.
Kibalama says most of the feeder roads in his area are in a very poor condition having been long ignored by KCCA. He added that thugs and robbers intercept people on these bad feeder roads to steal from them in the night.
Hearing from the residents in the area, a one Joweria Nakachwa is very appreciative that they are constructing the road. This is because it shows a good image of an official of the Prime minister’s calibre.
However, the roadside grocery seller also asked that their road too should be constructed as well as all other neighboring roads.
It sends a wrong impression to the public if Nabbanja’s neighbors are suffering while she is cruising on a good road.

![[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.
