The country has just reopened but even with this, the Ministry of Health advices people to be vigilant. According to their predictions, they expect the third wave to start around the end of August.
Apparently, the country was only opened to prepare for the third wave.
“The lockdown has been lifted so we can prepare for the 3rd wave. Please train more health workers, fix the oxygen crisis, import Vaccines, buy more beds. Ugandans ;- don’t wait for Nabbanja, save some ka money because it is a fact that the 3rd wave is coming.”
Reading through that statement, one could say the government opened to later close. However, people didn’t really love this post because they are apparently tired of this open and close business.
Some have blamed the Ministry of health for being corrupt which has made this fight impossible.
“Until our MoH & gov’t stops stealing, we shall never fight Covid. We’re only depending on donated, abolished & few vaccines from the whites. Expensive testing, no vaccines means children won’t study for at least 5 years,” a one Mathius tweeted.
Regardless of all this, the public just needs to stay vigilant. Already, reports coming from Kampala show that people are sluggish in adhering to SOPs.
If things stay this way, the third wave may even hit before its predicted time.

![[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.
