Schools To Reopen In Two Weeks, Churches May Have To Wait A Little Longer

Following the presidential directives, schools and churches have one month to go before they reopen. However, reports also indicate that the government plans to reopen them in two weeks.

Looking at the conditions that the president put for schools and Churches to reopen, we are not half way through the journey. Much as vaccination is ongoing, most of the population has actually not yet been vaccinated.

With this at hand, authorities anticipate the third wave and the numbers are already increasing in hospitals. This simply means in two weeks or three, there is going to be a health emergency.

Currently though, teachers have been put at the fore front of getting vaccinated. How about the students, this means everyone is still at risk because even those that are vaccinated still get the disease.

However, looking at the church, it may just be much easier because the meetings are once a week. The president’s problem though with the church was that some men of God were apparently downplaying Covid.

According to him, this is very intolerable because then people will be reckless and the virus may just spread at a very terrific speed.

Meanwhile, some parents have decided to take their children back next year. This is due to the frustration they have been through throughout the season.

Their fear is that schools may be closed again just after being reopened again and yet they will have paid fees. In any case, this whole matter is in the hands of the government

[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.
