The complaints he is yet to address;
The Muslim fraternity since their month of Ramadan started have been crying out. Under their leadership, they had requested for curfew to be extended for them. It is difficult to catch up with the curfew because their activities closely run together. From the hour of 7:00 pm when they are having Futari. Immediately after that, they need to go for prayers at 8:00 pm yet curfew is at 9:00 pm.
The entertainment industry has also been crying out to be allowed to operate. The president during his address to the nation denied concerts, bars and the sort from operating last year in March. However every time the president is addressing the nation, he doesn’t say a thing about it. Meanwhile, even if not legally open, some have been operating and still are under the president’s nose.
Some people have on the other hand asked the president to be intentional about issues. Radio presenter, Kasuku asked the president to either lift curfew or reinforce it to apply to everyone. According to him, it doesn’t make sense for some people to work beyond curfew yet he denies others.
Do we still need curfew? Is it still important? It should be justified then because it has lost meaning for many as of now.

![[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.
