The guidelines tabled before the committee has seven pillars namely, agriculture value chain development, infrastructure and economic services, financial inclusion, social services, and community mobilization and mindset change.

The others are, parish based information management systems, and governance and administration.

According to the Magyezi, the model will be implemented through the Parish Revolving Fund which will be Shs17 million per parish in the financial year 2021/22 and Shs100 million for the next financial year per parish.

According to Magyezi, they have a recovery mechanism which is the core of the programme.

However, Members of Parliament expressed dissatisfaction about the programme with many saying it was rushed without guidelines and adequate legislation.

Bukimbiri County MP, Hon Eddie Kwizera said that since the parish model is a long-term programme, there is a need for a bill by the government that will ensure its operationalization.

“This is a long term project and it requires a law; if someone mismanages the project, what will happen? The Attorney General needs to bring a bill to Parliament, the same way the National Agricultural Advisory Services (NAADS) program is working,” he said.

However, Minister Magyezi said that there is no need for new legislation for the parish model as they are already operating within the local Governance structures and law.

“We are implementing the parish model under the structures of local governments; we are currently working with the Attorney General, and we appreciate your guidance on the matter,” Magyezi said.

The Committee Chairperson, Hon Godrey Onzima said it is unfortunate that serious government programmes start without guidelines.

“We don’t give time to systematically start our projects. People are being given Shs17 million and roads are being opened but we are still working on the guidelines.” Onzima said.

Bugweri District Woman Representative, Hon Rachel Magoola said the government is rotating around the same structure that has failed including emyooga, Youth Livelihood Programmes among others. She says government needs to slow down and adequately plan for the programme before implementing it
