He says government should find a way of having their programs affect the youth in a positive way. There are so many programs that the government has put in place in the name of helping the youth.
There are so many programs that are running aided by the government including the Parish Development model program, bonna baggaggawale among others.
According to the government, these programs are to help the youth to get better in life. However, it seems the young people are just getting poorer by the day. Due to this, most of the young people have run abroad to find a living for themselves.
Kasuku says with time, government is going to lose able labour because all the youth are set on doing work from out. Their argument is the pay is handsome much as the conditions may be harsh.
In any case, every year we have new companies linking Ugandans to work abroad coming up. This only means the people moving out of the country are on the rise.
The government should probably go back to the drawing board and see how young people can benefit from their programs. In a few years, labour may be an issue in the country if this is not sorted out immediately.

![[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.
