The Woman MP Ibanda District, Hon. Jane Bainomugisha has asked the government and other stakeholders to up the game in fighting domestic violence that is hindering many families from benefiting from different socio-economic programmes.









Addressing local leaders and other people during the launch of Parish Revolving Funds disbursement at Post Bank Ibanda branch on December 20, 2022 under Parish Development Model-PDM, Hon Jane said domestic violence and lack of sensitization should be addressed.







The PDM deputy national coordinator, Jovrine Kaliisa who represented the Local Government Minister Raphael Magyezi as the Chief Guest reiterated the need for all Ugandans to embrace such socio-economic transformation programmes. She said ICT systems have been set up to monitor all transactions from local to national level.

The Post Bank Regional Head of Distribution, Martin Lukyamuzi explained that  this is a very big opportunity for Post Bank to continue serving Ugandans since it’s 100% owned by the Government of Uganda,  adding that Post Bank is set to have over 60,000 E-wallet agents across Uganda to ensure instant & convenient services. Members will be able to make PDM transactions from their locations – like how Mobile Money works.

For Ibanda municipality, Jovrine Kaliisa said they haven’t benefited due the delay by municipality technocrats to submit papers, but the municipality might also benefit around mid-January 2023. PDM was also launched in Sheema and some parts of the country.
