Some of people will be at church events while others will be out in bars. However, the President of the Republic of Uganda, H.E Yoweri Museveni is preparing to give an end-of-year 2022 speech today.
The Senior Presidential Press Secretary to the President Sandor Walusimbi issued a statement on the matter. In this, he revealed the time of the address to start at 8pm.
In addition to that, the statement revealed that the president will address the nation from his home in Rwakitura. Walusimbi also said the address will be aired on all Television channels and radio stations.
Unlike the previous addresses, the main areas to be covered by the president were not hinted at. However, one of the main issues many hope no one will talk about is Ebola.
Many believe the Ebola outbreak is still raging across the country. This is mainly because the World Health Organization has not come out to declare it gone yet.
The president last addressed the nation over Ebola in October hence the reason to believe he will do the same today. The last Ebola patient got discharged from hospital at the start of this month.
This gave health officials hope that they had won this battle but they don’t know for sure. Up until this point, no new Ebola case has been reported which is a good sign.

![[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.
