President Museveni officiated at the groundbreaking for Kabusu-Bunamwaya-Lweza road, it’s one of the 96 roads that we are going to tarmac in Kampala.
When the NRM came, we found a fainted nation and we resuscitated Uganda and started minimum recovery. Now we have commenced on infrastructural development, and my hope is that our wanainchi get wealth and jobs from this development,’he said.
However, president Museveni said we need to utilise our funds better, some MPs want to increase their salaries and travel, yet we can use that money to put in citizens’ Saccos. Please tell your MP to support us deal with the crucial things instead of their personal development.
I addressed a rally at Bembe-Nansiti, Namayumba county in Wakiso district.
President Museveni also thanked the people of Namayumba for your continued support towards NRM and contribution towards the NRA bush war that led to the liberation of this country.
I understand that land evictions of Bibanja holders are a big issue here, but no one is allowed to evict them according to the NRM resolutions.
There are 4 categories of bibanja legal owners; I) those who occupied the land before 1983, ii) those who owned land from 1983 to 1995, iii) those who inherited the bibanja from there family and iv) those who bought the land. I promise to come back to discuss more on this issue,’he said.
About coffee, I have heard some people telling lies about coffee certificates. We are only registering coffee growers for purposes of traceability of our product on the international market,’said Museveni.
The farmers will also benefit from training, empowerment, and monitoring for good quality coffee so that we are able to compete favorably on the world market,’he added.

![[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.
