“The problem of Uganda is not lack of money but misuse. The government has been sending money through programs like youth livelihood, entandikwa and many others but people have remained poor. The problem is that people are so addicted to eating everything that comes to government. This is a bad habit and has ensured our people remain poor,” Kasolo said.
Kyeyune Kasolo also says people should learn how to save and use the money they get to create more wealth.
“The problem is that once you get money from the government for development, you just eat it but this is wrong. Even if it is money you have just picked, it is yours and you have to put it to proper use. Even if it is a gift to you, don’t eat, use it to multiply your wealth. Whatever you get, plan and put it to proper use.”
“Government has money to spend as part of this program of Emyooga and many others to ensure its people create wealth. I urge leaders to always remind their electorates to save. If you don’t save, you are doomed. You will die poor.”
The issue of saving has been in the lips of so many people because most Ugandans eat all they have without sparing a thing. This can probably be the reason why investments by Ugandans in Uganda are few.

![[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.
