Yesterday, the Uganda Police Force published a road map for all travelers to follow as they go about their business. Some roads are currently prohibited because they directly lead to the birthday venue, Lugogo Cricket Oval.
It all seemed like a joke when it was still in talks but it turns out the birthday was surely going to be celebrated in a big way. The traffic jam has annoyed most of the business operators who have run to social media to rant about what they call unnecessary causes for it.
Some have even given up going to work because it just became impossible to maneuver through it all.
“Is all this traffic due to that stupid birthday …Mahn btw screw those clowns rubbish!! Business can’t halt because of some dumb big child!,” a one Ann Kugonza tweeted.
“If our cars run out of fuel in this unnecessary traffic, we know where we are sending the bill!” a one Joseph Timbe tweeted.
The traffic jam started as early as 6:30am when security was poured all over Jinja Road streets.
Meanwhile, today is also Bobi Wine’s first son’s birthday. Obviously, this has only made the day more controversial and those who love violence have milked it.
“Happy birthday First Son Shadrack Mbogo Kyagulanyi. You are loved, not just by your fellow pupils that overwhelmingly trusted you to lead them in a free and fair election recently but also by millions who love President @HEBobiwine,” Patrick Kanyomozi, President of Ugandans on Twitter posted.

![[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.
