“Once you force that injection on someone, you are committing an assault on their body. Everybody has a right to human dignity. If you are going to be injected, given tablets, or operated on, first, you must be educated about the effects of the same,” Kabuleta said.
Museveni reacting to this said, even though Kabuleeta has the right to vaccination, they have a right to safety from such people.
“I saw him(Kabuleta) saying employers have no right to force employees to get vaccinated. If we say for health reasons this is required and you don’t, you shall not come to workplace. Yes, you have your right to boycott the vaccine but we also have the right to protect ourselves,” Museveni said.
He also, added that ll teachers should fully get the vaccine before they accept them in schools.
The president said cases increased more when they reopened schools.
“There is an increased number of clusters of infections in schools. When the children were in villages, I didn’t hear of any infections. Now when we opened schools have become new centres of infections.”
Schools will close today for a period of 42 days. The president gave no specific plan on how students are going to go through these 42 days. Students in lower primary have not even been in school since March 2020.

![[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.
