The MP of Kimanya Kabonera, Hon Abed Bwanika has revealed why he didn’t sign the censure motion against the 4 Parliamentary Commissioners. It should be noted that for the past couple of months, Lwemiyaga County MP Theodore Ssekikubo has been gathering signatures to censure the 4 Parliamentary commissioners.
These include Mathias Mpuuga, Solomon Silwany, Prossy Akampurira and Esther Afoyochan. Ssekikubo has already collected the necessary signatures although he’s yet to file the censure motion.
According to Bwanika, he did not sign because there are a number of irregularities in this motion. Besides, he believes it’s being pushed by someone for some motive.
On top of that, service awards were given to other groups of people such as the former Speakers. Therefore, he doesn’t understand why the focus is only on the Commissioners.
“I didn’t sign Ssekikubo’s commissioners’ censure motion because I see a lot of irregularities in it. I think it’s being pushed by someone. Service awards were given to several people, including former speakers Edward Ssekandi and Rebecca Kadaga. Even parliamentary commissioners received them. I find it not right to focus only on the four commissioners,” the MP said.
Additionally, the MP said that the most important thing is to find out whether this service award was legal, and if it was passed by Parliament.
If it was indeed done, it should be then clarified as a mistake. Therefore, a mistake done in Parliament is not corrected by a censure motion. It should rather be corrected by a censure motion to correct the mistake.

![[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.
