Judicial officers have received vehicles and motorcycles to ease mobility and services to the people. Pius Bigirimana, permanent secretary to the judiciary while speaking to the media said they will give at least 50 magistrates cars.
On the other hand, court clerks and other support staff will get motorcycles.
“If you support the Judiciary, you are supporting the economy of this country. I appreciate the budget support by the government to the Judiciary to administer justice,” he said.
The judiciary has received 59 vehicles and 50 motorcycles. He noted that this support is going to improve service delivery. The public, therefore, should await for more innovations and improved justice.
The cars and the motorcycles will help the judicial officers to travel to the field. This is especially in the areas of conflict to ascertain the facts, something Bigirimana said has been a big challenge.
“We don’t want the judicial officer to go on a boda boda. Because you might go on a boda-boda of a relative who is culprit in the conflict. The probability that this judicial officer can be harmed is very high,” he said.
Pius Bigirimana noted that transport is key in ensuring justice in the country. Remote places normally have issues with justice because it’s hard to reach the people that can help them.
If they use the motorcycles and vehicles right, definitely justice delivery is going to improve.

![[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.
