The two drainage channels will relieve the people of Kawempe and Bwaise of flooding especially in the rainy season. The project will be completed in 12 months.
On the other hand, Kasubi Market will house over 1,400 traders though currently only 800 are using it because of SOPs on social distancing. With this facility functional, I urge those who have been selling merchandise along the roads to use it instead.
Finally, president Museveni said he still sees people flouting guidelines they put in place to check the spread of Covid-19, adding that this disease is serious and we have so far lost five lives which could have been saved. Please don’t be reckless,’he added.
Thank you for launching the the projects which will undoubtedly benefit the community in the above areas of Kampala. For those violating or not adhering to measures aimed at preventing the spread of COVID 19 both sensitisation and enforcement should be strengthened so that the country does not experience a surge in the number of people getting infected or dying due to complacency,indiscipline and stubbornness,’Mathew commented.
The way you made us suffer looking for alternative routes from Nansana. I realized you are not a pipoz president, rather a dictator. Why would you close off roads(just because you are launching the market) and send pipo to use poor roads that have never been worked on for over 34yrs,’Gidada commented.
Thank u so much our dear president for all the good work humbly asking to talk to mama Janet increase on the slots for diploma holders on government sponsorship scheme especially in Kabale university thanks,’Veronica commented.
Ahaa, your ministers have liberty! Sincerely speaking, I’ve learned that it’s very easier to run a country if you can get time to commission drainages,’Ruth commented.

![[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.
