The Then NRA took over power in 1986. Kololo Independence grounds will host about about 547 guests because of the presence of Covid-19.
Much as the country is open now, business is still not as usual as people are still being vigilant.
The theme for the celebrations is: “Celebrating the 36th NRM victory day, a call to duty for all compatriots to continue towards Uganda’s Social Economic Transformation Journey.” Unlike all the other recent years, this time only those that have been invited will show up.
For those who don’t have the invite, they are going to watch everything on their Televisions or listen in from their radios.
Meanwhile, Maj. Gen Henry Masiko has appreciated men in uniform for making sure country men find sleep all these 36 years of NRM leadership.
“I want to congratulate the men in uniform for the far we have come. I salute those young men and women that don’t sleep so that we can sleep. Maj. Gen. Henry Masiko: Some of the things that happen, you don’t see them, and when we respond, you don’t understand why we (security forces) have responded that way.”
On the other hand, not so many Ugandans are impressed with NRM. Most say they are currently doing the same things they fought against. So, how different are they from Obote and Amin.

![[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.
