Unfortunately, by the time he sat there, he wasn’t wearing a mask because it was a much smaller meeting they were in. He suspects, however, that the vaccine in some way made contracting this virus impossible.
“I was in Kigali for #CHOGM2022, and I almost got #COVID-19. I put on my mask for the main meeting, but when we went for the smaller meeting, I relaxed and removed my mask, yet the person I was seated next to had COVID-19. When I returned, I self-isolated from Ntugamo for five days. I was tested and found to be negative. I wasn’t affected, and I think it’s because of the vaccines.”
The President was in all this trying to show the benefits of getting vaccinated. According to the program, that is being made, children between the age of 12 and 17 are going to be vaccinated.
This will however be with the consent of their parents. He took the opportunity to encourage parents to allow their children to get vaccinated because it’s for their own good. Due to this, he directed Ministers to sensitize the people about vaccination.
“I have directed the Prime Minister to work out a schedule for Ministers to go and sensitize the people about the #COVID19 vaccines like we did with the Parish Development Model.”

![[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.
