Despite having applied to the UPDF showing his desire to exit the army, Gen David Sejusa is not among those on the list to be cleared to retire. His names were reportedly detached.
This isn’t the 1st time Sejusa’s name is missing on the list of retirees, even in 2018, the UPDF retired eleven Generals, making the number of retired Generals in the last 1 year to thirty, according to New Vision.
On Monday evening, Uganda’s president Yoweri Kaguta Museveni hosted a dinner for 19 army Generals who were cleared to exit the army. During the function, the president handed over certificates to the 19 Generals and appreciated the good work they have done for the UPDF.
According to Brig. Karemire Richard, the UPDF spokesperson, UPDF is now responsible to retire army officers of all ranks.
During the interview, Gen. Sejusa said he’s already retired officer, following the decision of the High Court in 2016 that he wasn’t serving the UPDF anymore since he had spent several years without getting benefits from the army.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
