UCC to start off sim-card registration come next week.
Ugandans have been in frustration over lack of SIM card replacement and acquiring of new SIM cards ever since Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) halted the same processes until further notice as was a directive from the president of Uganda. But now we have carried good news for you that the wait is over starting next week.
Through the Government Deputy Spokesperson, Col. Shaban Bantariza in an announcement he said that effective next week, Uganda Communications Commission will communicate centers where to replace our SIM cards from. It is further known that these all together made 50 centers will be managed by UCC but together with telecom companies.
The use for this is to authenticate and verify your identification. Also, registration of your SIM Card with another person’s National ID isn’t allowed. SIM Cards will be active with in 24hrs after registration unlike the earlier process where one could get the SIM card activated immediately. You are also encouraged to report any person from UCC that becomes difficult and the Government will solve that.

![[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.
