They said that they want the government to help them build Mirundi Plaza which will have shops, a library, a park, and some rental places.
One of his daughters known as Nantongo revealed that she used to have close conversations with the father. He told her that before he dies, he would wish to construct a plaza.
Unfortunately, he died suddenly at the age of 60 years before fulfilling some of the dreams that he had always wanted for himself and his family.
Tamale Mirundi was very controversial to the point where he said that he supported government but used to expose some of the government officials on different matters. With the request made by his family, it is not clear whether the government will honour any of them.
“Our father aspired to leave a lasting legacy through Mirundi Plaza. He dreamed of creating a significant landmark in his home area, with plans to construct a storage building and a park that would include a library, shops, and rental spaces. Our prayer and request to the government is to honor his memory by fulfilling this vision and ensuring that his legacy lives on,” – Nantongo, Tamale Mirundi’s daughter said.

![[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.
