President Museveni Visits Homes Of People Whose Parents Died

Over this Easter holiday, president Museveni visited a few homes of people whose parents have passed on. The idea is to mobilize the children of the deceased against dividing the land and property of their parents but rather create a legal entity in the form of a family company in which they are all directors.

It is a campaign Museveni began in earnest yesterday when he visited the homes of Late Yakobo and Janet Rwaburemba and that of Late George Kifenene, all of Kashongi County in Kiruhura District.

He advised that the children, acting as shareholders in the company, take executive decisions on enterprise selection, it’s execution, then partake of profits depending on shareholding.

It is a campaign that I urge political, religious and all types of leaders to join me in popularizing across the country. If we do not do this, we face extinction at the hand of land fragmentation,’he said.

In this, it is important to understand that family wealth is not only good for the individual families and communities, but for the country as well because that is how we grow capacity to feed our people, supply raw materials to industries, export, create employment, among others.

I am also engaging Ministry of Agriculture officials to sensitize people about alternative farming methods for maximum results. For example, cattle keepers can go from current 314 cows per square mile to upto 6,020 cows per square mile if they used better farming methods,’Museveni said.

These include allowing the land to breathe and absorb water after ploughing, growing animal fodder and taking it to the cows, etc. In the medium term, the alternative is to plough, and grow the fodder, and practice rotational grazing or paddocking. This would result into a capacity of 1,920 cows per square mile.

This is a model I have spoken of for a long time, in different parts of the country and different enterprises.

Therefore, this Easter, I am undertaking to reignite the cause of mindset change as we grow to sustainable development across the board. I invite all countrymen, country women and Bazukkulu to join in this campaign against poverty,’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.
