In Mityana<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n PDM funds so far well spent in Mityana<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Mityana district is one of the many districts where government \u2018s Parish Development Model (PDM) program is reaching the beneficiaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Residents here say they have greatly benefited from the program and asked government to enhance the PDM budget to reach a sizeable number of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While monitoring the progress of the program in the district Lands Minister Judith Nabakooba, who is also the in-charge of the PDM docket in greater Mubende asked leaders to organise seminars and teach people how to use the money and encourage them to form entreprise groups to benefit from the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI have heard that 90 percent of the Shs8.1b is already disbursed and people are using it. Teach them how to utilize this money so that they don\u2019t use it for other none productive purposes ,” she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nabakooba gave leaders in the district an ultimatum of two weeks to pay the remaining funds still on the PDM accounts to th eintended beneficiaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGive out all the funds because it is meant for our people such that when we receive more PDM funds this financial year, more people should benefit,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nabakooba was however not happy with Opportunity Bank after she received complaints from residents that the bank was deducting Ug.Shs.20,000 on each one million shillings paid out .<\/p>\n\n\n\n She asked the bank to pay back this money and change the private security officer at that bank who allegedly mistreats people when they access it to process their money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPeople pay for everything required and then you deduct their money, I don\u2019t understand that. Pay back people\u2019s money and also give other banks an opportunity to speed up the program,” a furious Nabakooba told the bank officials .<\/p>\n\n\n\n The minister monitored the program in three sub counties of Kikandwa, Kalangaalo, and Bulera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mr Emmanuel Zirabamuzaale, the in-charge in monitoring the implementation of government programs in Mityana noted that there was no extortion in the entire district and promised to put the minister\u2019s directives into action to ensure that by the end of October all beneficiaries registered in the first phase have the money on their accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe are going to speed up the process to ensure that every person is absorbed in to the available groups to clear the remaining steps for them to get the money,\u201d he promised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For a person to receive the money, they have to be members of a certain entreprise group, have a bank account, a national identity card with mobile phone numbers registered in their names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Mr Jackson Kamya, the Kikandwa LC III chairperson, all the eight parishes in his area have got the money with each SACCO receiving Shs107m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe thank President Yoweri Museveni for always thinking about the poor Ugandan. Our prayer now is to see the beneficiaries using the money appropriately and they pay back after the three years such that we develop our community,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He warned beneficiaries who received the money and did not use it as expected to immediately venture in productive projects which they asked the money for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In Mityana, there are three projects that residents agreed to undertake while implementing the PDM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These include poultry, dairy farming, and coffee growing. Nabakooba however asked beneficiaries to invest in any project as long as the money is doing something productive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mr Rogers Ssenkaayi, the Kalangaalo PDM Chief said most of the people from the 11 parishes of the area invested in coffee projects but have been greatly affected by coffee wilt disease. He asked government to post extension workers who can help them curb the disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In her response, Nabakooba pledged to connect the district’s extension workers to technocrats in the Ministry of Agriculture for an immediate solution to the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Editor :msserwanga@gmail.com<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Our Reporters In Mityana PDM funds so far well spent in Mityana Mityana district is one of the many<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10164,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[168],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10163","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national-development"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ju.jpg","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":10178,"url":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/land-nabakooba-issues-new-pdm-guidelines-in-greater-mubende\/","url_meta":{"origin":10163,"position":0},"title":"Land Nabakooba issues new PDM guidelines in greater Mubende","author":"UgandaUpdate","date":"October 17, 2023","format":false,"excerpt":"By Our Reporter Lands Minister Judith Nabakooba who also doubles as the in-charge of Parish Development Model (PDM) in greater Mubende has set fresh guidelines to be followed by PDM beneficiaries in the region.
