The activists disagreed with the fact vaccination has now apparently become mandatory. There are public offices and places one can’t walk into unless they have received the vaccination.
Eva Mugisa, a pharmacist, emphasized that the Hippocratic oath tells them to uphold consent confidentiality. However, these two things must have taken holiday during Covid 19.
“The Hippocratic oath binds medical workers like me not to harm and to uphold consent and confidentiality. This oath gives legitimacy due to its respect to submission to divinity but we didn’t see this upheld during these “waves”, she said.
She said as government is focusing on private health, it’s trampling on freedoms and rights all over.
“We should not focus only on private health, the freedoms and rights being infringed affect our Mental and Spiritual health. Some SOPs are non-scientific and not proven to be efficacious example masks.”
Vaccination has been the talk of the town for so many months. Many people have raised questions but the government has provided no answers especially about the vaccines.
Instead of making it mandatory for everyone to get vaccinated, they should make people understand why they need to get vaccinated.
There are rumours even that starting January 2022, if you need vaccinating, you will have to pay. However, the president promised that they will reopen the economy.

![[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.
