These drinking joints were flouting Ministry of Health guidelines on coronavirus in Kampala City over the weekend.
Luke Owoyesigyire, Kampala Metropolitan Police deputy spokesperson said none of the arrested is going to get police bond. They will send all of them to court.
“More than 200 suspects were arrested from Cayene Bar in Bukoto, New Best Hotel in Busega, bars around Lugogo and DV8 in Wandegeya. It should be noted that operating bars is still against the guidelines that were issued by the Ministry of Health,”
Some of these drinking joints were actually operating like there is no Covid. Most of the party animals even had the nerve to post themselves on social media having fun.
For this matter, Owoyesigirye says the police looked everywhere in those areas.
“Our officers took their time and searched every place of the affected bars to make sure none is left behind,” he said.
Bars are still under lockdown since last year in April. Museveni has not showed any sign of opening them anytime soon.
He clearly exhibits his rage for alcohol. Just recently, said he doesn’t find anything good about it aside from being bitter. Actually, most of them became restaurants because they still have to make ends meet.
As of now though, looks like the president will not address complaints against closure of drinking joints soon.

![[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.
