They are expected to be off the road by 6pm. The question though is why are they still subjected to curfew? Why is it so hard for them to be operating freely just like all the other sectors of transport.
The President didn’t really give so much information regarding this issue. However, rumour has it that it is attached to security reasons.
For so long, the president has been pinning boda Boda riders for causing insecurity especially around the City. Most of the crimes that have been so alarming have had boda Bodas involved somewhere.
The killings of security personnels and also dignified people have been having boda Bodas somewhere.
It is therefore for this reason that these fellows still have curfew. Obviously, the truth is, security has been at least better than the previous years.
Another thing that may be keeping boda Bodas under curfew could be their irritating indiscipline on the road. Some times these riders make it feel like they have their own road regulations that they follow which causes many accidents.
Meanwhile, they have tried to be as disciplined as they can so that they are left to carry out their business as they should. It’s not just them who miss the freedom they had, but their clients as well who can’t call them anymore after a particular time.
In any case, it doesn’t look like they are lifting curfew anytime soon because the president has not even whispered about it lately.

![[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.
