The message came during the celebrations of Kamwokya Youth Centre. The executive director of MSC representative Mr James Muhwezi delivered the message.
He revealed the intentions of the MSC to talk to the youth about their journey towards the eradication of poverty. He also reiterated the need to work really hard on their development so that the government can take them to the next level.
“This is the same thing we did with emyooga. We want to encourage you to work hard. I commend the efforts of the youth mechanics, women entrepreneurs, emyooga elected youth leaders, among others in their efforts of bringing youth together for a common goal,” he said.
He explained that the government knows how hard it is for the youths to acquire the securities that are needed by banks. He, therefore, said it is the reason why they put in place the MSC to help youths with SACCOS.
Additionally, he said these SACCOS would help the youths to save and come up with their own finances for development. Muhwezi advised them to engage in productive work and avoid being idle.
MSC officials took a tour of the exhibitions at the event of the youths they have supported before in their associations and SACCOS. On their side, different groups also commended MSC for supporting their programs in Kamwokya.

![[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.
