According to him this will solve the problem of unbalanced news, spread of rumors and biased opinions which are surrounding the election period.
He emphasized that after the agreed date of 21st December 2020, all journalists with no accreditation will be treated like any other person. Privileges and any other special care will be given to accredited journalists when it comes to covering elections.
“All journalists who will insist to cover elections without the cards will be treated as well-wishers and will not benefit to the privileges that will be accorded to the accredited journalists,” Mr. Enanga said.
Since the media badges have security features, every accredited journalist will be required to give in their particulars. Later the police will affirm whether they match with what the Uganda media council will be having.
For this reason, Mr. Enanga asked the Journalists to be cooperative when they receive people from his office.
This is a very good move if government doesn’t use it to infringe on the rights of the journalists. If only it’s not just for elections but for all journalism related work areas it would really change the journalism world.
Identifying unethical journalists has become as easy as eating bananas. The kind of content they dish out is substandard, they don’t follow principles of journalism. The public is more misinformed today than it was a few years ago.

![[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.
