There are seven \u00a0enterprises from which you can benefit from. These include: Piggery, fish farming, dairy\/zero grazing and growing of either fruits, coffee or food crops,\u201d she said.\u00a0 \u00a0<br><br> Nabakooba added: \u201cThe district should not limit the homesteads on what to do. Tell the community development officer or the PDM district focal point person to explain the \u00a0ekibalo for each enterprise and let people choose for themselves. Remember, each of \u00a0the beneficiary should belong to an enterprise.\u201d \u00a0<br><br><br> She revealed that so far 75 saccos have been formed meant to distribute the PDM money to all the beneficiaries in the district.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cIn Mityana, so far 75 saccos have been formed in order to distribute PDM money to all the intended beneficiaries. Out of the 75, 69 have so far received sh25m capitation grant this is more money available for us. These saccos carried enterprise selection and came up with three district enterprises namely; coffee, dairy cattle and poultry,\u201d she said.\u00a0 <br><br>\u00a0 The minister also vowed to ensure that the three saccos which have not received money do receive it in the shortest time possible.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cI found out that there are three saccos that didn\u2019t receive the first sh7m that was distributed. \u00a0 These include: Kikandwa sacco, Namutunku sacco and Bulyakuyenge. I want to find out why these saccos have not yet received this money. We need to support the process and ensure that they receive this money as soon as possible,\u201d she said.\u00a0 <br><br>\u00a0 Nabakooba called on district leaders to put in more emphasis to sensitise the people about PDM. \u00a0 \u201cI call upon my fellow leaders in the district to step the senstisation regarding PDM opportunities. I am aware that many people are not yet on board. This is because they do not know what to do. Let us step up our mobilisation and ensure that everyone is on board,\u201d she said.\u00a0 \u00a0<br><br> \u201cThe other appeal is towards the community itself. My fellow women, we have the role to play in ensuring that PDM benefits us all. Let us be vigilant and lookout for any corrupt tendencies. This is your money and you do not have to pay anything in return. Just utilise properly according to the guidelines that will be provide by the saccos.\u201d <br><br>\u00a0 The minister also advised residents to avoid sub-dividing their land saying that doing so would limit agricultural production. \u00a0 <br>The Mityana Resident District Commissioner (RDC), Africano Aharikundira, while addressing the resident urged leaders in Mityana to work together for the good of the district.\u00a0 \u00a0 He called upon opposition leaders in the district to avoid fighting governmnent programs and urged parents to ensure that the girl child receives education at all costs.\u00a0 \u00a0 <br><br>\u201cI also call upon parents in the district to ensure that their girls receive education at all costs. We need like 1000 Nabakoobas,\u201d he said. \u00a0 <br><br>During the event, women leaders in the district decried the poor road network in the district saying that it is affecting expecting mothers who find it hard to move to health centres when the time for delivery has come.\u00a0 <br><br>\u00a0 \u201cWe have a very poor road network in district most especially here in Butayunja sub-county. This is affecting expecting mothers who fin to hard to move to health centres when time for delivery has come,\u201d one of them said.\u00a0 \u00a0<br><br> During the event, one of the district leaders, Hajji Noor Kalyesubula, donated a  tractor to help the residents in the district clear their farm land. \u00a0 Kalyesubula said the tractor is meant to help farmers prepare their gardens for harvest. \u00a0 \u00a0<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><br><strong>Editor:msserwanga@gmail.com<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Our Reporters \u00a0 Lands minister Judith Nabakooba, has urged women and youth in Mityana district to \u00a0embrace the Parish<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8618,"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":[65],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8617","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national-news"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/nab.jpg","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":9550,"url":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/lands-minister-nabakooba-rallies-mityana-residents-to-make-maximum-use-of-ug-shs-1-6bn-pdm-cash-to-increase-household-incomes\/","url_meta":{"origin":8617,"position":0},"title":"Lands Minister Nabakooba rallies Mityana residents to make maximum use of Ug.Shs. 1.6bn PDM cash to increase \u00a0household incomes","author":"UgandaUpdate","date":"July 30, 2023","format":false,"excerpt":"By Our Reporter Lands Minister Judith Nabakooba has rallied the people of Mityana to makje maximum use of the Ug.Shs. 1.6bn Parish Development Model (PDM) cash thats being given to the poor people in Mityana district to increase household incomes .
