Ssenyonyi says this is the type of issue they are trying to avoid by doing investigations on vital areas of the airlines. The airline was revived in 2018 but flew again in 2019.
“Uganda Airlines has collapsed before. And now it is being revived. If we make the same mistakes, we do not need a prophet to tell us that it will collapse again. We need to learn from our mistakes.”
Ssenyonyi says the academic qualifications of employees should match those in the Human Resource structure. This is the problem that is eating up the airlines according to him plus the undefined staff structure.
“Both academic qualifications and experience are important. However, do you have the academic qualifications that are within the HR manual, set as law. The experience of the Uganda Airlines officials is also being interrogated.”
“For any serious entity, you must have a staff structure. Uganda Airlines does not have that. Those are not my words. That is the Auditor General’s report. They do not have a salary structure. And now they have all these issues,” Joel added.
This story has captured a number of Ugandans. Most of the outcomes of the investigations have been mind-blowing.
The fact that for 28 years, the CEO has never got her transcript from Makerere, her salary apparently being Ugshs87 million. There is surely so much to unearth in the airlines’ story.

![[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.
