Dr. Jane Ruth Aceng confirmed on the 26th of October that some school-going students in Kampala tested positive.
However, Gashumba says those who are promoting a lockdown just want to make money like they did during Covid.
“The people proposing a LOCKDOWN just want to make Ebola a money-making scheme just like they did with Covid-19!!”
Douglas Lwanga, a media personality didn’t differ so much from Sheilah. He says they are still recovering from the Covid Lockdown so they can’t take in another lockdown now.
“Anyone proposing a lockdown has no connection to the reality of what people are going thru. U have no idea how people are struggling to make ends meet #NoLockdown,” Douglas tweeted.
However, some people have said Sheilah and many others are overreacting regarding this matter. According to them, a lockdown may be needed to stop the spread of the virus.
“That is not true. Lockdown used to be called quarantine. In biblical times, people were sent away so that they didn’t infect anyone. It has nothing to do with making money.”
Well, there are a number of mixed reactions about this whole lockdown situation among the people.
However, the president will be the final man to decide on what the country is to do. He will provide an update in a televised National Address like he always does.

![[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.
