Mathias says they need to know the successes registered so far. He insisted that government owes the public accountability. Apparently, the measures they drawn and budgeted for cost taxpayers’ money.
“We want to demand of him to come and offer a score card as to how those measures he proposed have so far moved because those measures were followed by a request in the budget to fund that security,” Mr Mpuuga said.
Mr Mpuuga’s concern on the matter follows a demand from a section of legislators. They asked the government to update the country on the suspected bomb attacks in the country.
“One of the biggest challenges of fighting terror is by state actors communicating in riddles and of course because we have a dozen of them that are managing security in the country, each one of them communicating variously and throwing the public into confusion. We are inviting security agencies to give the country coherent and consistent information,” Mr Mpuuga said.
President Museveni’s 10 point program consisted of installing cameras all around especially in Kampala.
However, these cameras have hardly been of help because most times the information is never there at all. This is why Mr. Mpuuga said they need accountability especially with the ongoing insecurity in the country.

![[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.
