The updated salary system has resulted in higher pay for staff members working in these fields.
The new salary structure has been implemented by the Ugandan government and has resulted in substantial pay raises for employees in the aviation and justice ministry sectors.
The salary increment are said to be a response to concerns about the low compensation rates in these fields, which has led to difficulties in attracting and retaining skilled workers.
Meanwhile the report notes that some of the highest earners in the aviation sector are pilots, air traffic controllers, and engineers, who are now receiving significantly higher salaries.
Similarly, in the justice ministry, judges and magistrates are among the staff members who are benefiting from the new salary structure.
The article also indicates that the salary increment have been well-received by the affected workers, who have expressed appreciation for the recognition of their contributions to their respective fields.
However, there are concerns that the salary increment may not be sustainable in the long run, given the current economic challenges facing the country.

The hope is that the higher compensation rates will help to attract and retain skilled workers, ultimately leading to better service delivery in these critical areas.

![[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.
