So many boda bodas were confiscated leaving many people jobless. However, the president, says by now these people have learned their lesson. So, they should get their bodas back.
“Some many motorcycles at police stations were confiscated for violating curfew. However, as people of religion, sometimes it is good to forgive. These young people have already been punished since they have not been earning after being impounded. I direct you to release these motorcycles. I direct you to release them. Let us have an amnesty for these boda boda people,” Museveni said.
However, the president has on several occasions warned boda bodas to adhere to SOPs. Their time of work runs from 6:00am to 6:00pm but most of them never actually do as told.
You find most of them still on the road even at 11:00pm in the night. This just means they never leave the police any choice but to confiscate their motorcycles.
Meanwhile, even the police on the other hand, never really do as directed by the president. Some boda bodas up to now since the first lockdown have never gotten their bodas despite president forgiving them.
The president should have some people to follow up on his orders to see that they are fulfilled to the dot. Otherwise it doesn’t paint a good picture of him at all.

![[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.
