Buganda Kingdom has hailed Dr. Aisha Ruth Kasolo Biyinzika for her efforts in ensuring that government development initiatives reach communities and create opportunities for ordinary people, with Katikkiro Charles Peter Mayiga describing her as a dedicated public servant committed to uplifting lives.Mayiga made the remarks during the launch of the distribution of funds under the Generating Growth Opportunities and Productivity for Women Enterprises (GROW) Project through Kyadondo CBS POWESA SACCO at Kibibi Sub-county Headquarters Playground in Butambala District.
The Katikkiro said Dr. Kasolo’s contribution to Buganda’s development has often happened quietly but has produced significant results. He explained that despite serving in a national government role, she has consistently worked to ensure that people in Buganda benefit from major empowerment programmes.According to Mayiga, Dr. Kasolo’s approach reflects the spirit of responsible leadership, where public offices are used to create opportunities for citizens rather than simply carrying out administrative responsibilities.
He praised her for helping women and communities access resources aimed at improving their economic wellbeing.Mayiga encouraged beneficiaries of the GROW Project to treat the funds as a tool for business growth by investing carefully and maintaining a culture of saving. He warned against depending on handouts, saying sustainable development comes through hard work, entrepreneurship and proper management of available opportunities.CBS FM Managing Director Michael Kawooya Mwebe also highlighted Dr. Kasolo’s role in helping Kyadondo CBS POWESA SACCO secure support from the GROW Project.
He revealed that her technical guidance was instrumental in the SACCO meeting requirements that enabled it to receive an initial Shs5 billion for lending to women entrepreneurs.Mwebe said Dr. Kasolo has demonstrated strong commitment to Buganda’s progress by ensuring that national programmes are extended to communities that need them most.
He added that the funding will provide women with capital to expand businesses, increase incomes and strengthen household livelihoods.Dr. Kasolo, who coordinates the government’s GROW Project, said she remains committed to using her position to promote economic empowerment for women across Uganda. She noted that public service should focus on transforming communities and creating opportunities that allow people to improve their lives through enterprise and innovation.(For adverts, inquiries news, send us a message on +211929244599)
