“As of now, am ordering all private vehicles including private security organizations that have sirens to immediately disable those sirens.
I appeal to you; don’t drive in town with those sirens because we are going to arrest you,” Nuwabiine said.
This is a very good step if put in place because almost every private car wants to have a siren. Not only does it cause noise pollution but also congestion on the roads. As a result, traffic is always horrible especially during morning hours and evening hours.
Meanwhile, he also talked about drunk driving during the day which is on the rise. He said there are a number of accidents that have happened due to drunk drivers during day time.
” We are getting reports that people are drinking and driving during the day. They go and drink at friend’s homes and they are causing accidents on our roads. These accidents are not happening during night time because of the curfew” Lawrence said.
“Very Soon we shall mount sobriety checkpoints on undisclosed roads and we shall get them,” he added.
Since the closure of bars and other hangouts, people have resorted to drinking from homes.unfortunately, most of them drive while drunk. Checkpoints indeed are needed to have this vice checked and stopped as soon as possible.

![[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.
