The MP said that Uganda is a religious country where the constitution is followed. And in this 1995 constitution, ethical values are supposed to be upheld. More so Ugandans are supposed to be brought up with good morals.
She then cited the recent concerts in schools where musicians have been dancing in very ‘obscene and seductive ways.’ What’s more disappointing is that even the students have been joining in these dances.
The MP added that to her and other mothers out there, this is completely unacceptable. This is because there are ways that these musicians should dress when going to schools. Sarah Opendi added that some of these musicians dress almost ‘naked.’
The MP also highlighted the recent Makerere Graduation.
This graduation attracted a lot of criticism, especially on the dress code of the female students. These were almost nude and the MP said that this is unbecoming.
She further said that parents need to bring up their children when they respect themselves and their bodies. Hon Opendi then advised that there should be stricter laws on how children should dress in school.
“We, therefore, need to bring up our children with good morals when they can respect themselves and their bodies. I want to request the Ministry of Education to put up stricter guidelines on dress codes on how students are not supposed to be dressed. Why can’t we have the dress code of UCU in other schools,” said Hon Sarah Opendi.
Apparently, a video of Sheebah performing at Seeta High left many people concerned. The singer was in a skimpy short dress but her performance went on undeterred.

![[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.
