Many people anticipated a change in mind from him because of the growing Covid cases as Ministry of health-shows. Even with the growing cases, the president this time stood by his word.
However, now that the economy is fully open, how are we supposed to respond to it. Covid is still in place, with different variants existing now.
This means SOPs are still very important especially because we are now fully operating. It is no longer sustainable to stay home. This means people will have to put up with the virus regardless of it’s effects.
What does this mean? This means keeping safe is now more personal than communal. If you are wearing a mask, it’s for yourself. If you are sanitizing, it’s for yourself.
If you are getting the vaccine, it’s for yourself. This is because we may not or are not going back to lockdown because the country needs to move forward and this is impossible when everyone is not working.
Meanwhile, it was just about time for this to happen. People need to work. Life has to move on. Children have to go to school.

![[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.
