The president seemed to be referring to the former Vision Group CEO. Kabushenga took to social media and said that all he has been doing has been to save his country.
Speaking at a national address last night, President Museveni said that he was warning all the people who are de-campaigning the value addition program of coffee. He added that he knows them and they are just imperialistic puppets.
This therefore should stop. According to Museveni, there are even others who are fighting the refinery. They want Uganda to continue importing used goods but he won’t let this happen.
“I want to warn people who have been de-campaigning our coffee value addition move. We know them; agents of imperialism. They want us to keep importing raw coffee and dead people’s clothes. That should stop,” said the President.
Apparently, this saw Kabushenga quote the President’s message. He said that Mr Museveni seems to have forgotten where he came from. And whoever does such a thing always ends up badly. Besides there are facts and history that have proven a catastrophic ending for such people.
“Fellow Ugandans, Baganda in their infinite wisdom say that a person who will not be advised sets sail in a clay boat. We, Abakiga know that water can boil all it wants but it must never forget that it comes from a cold place. The facts speak for themselves. And history bears us out.
I now rest my case. I will leave the rest to your good judgment.
Everything I have said, everything I have done is For God & My Country.”
It should be noted that Kabushenga has been exposing the rot and corruption in the coffee sector. A one Tugume Nelson was singled out by the former Vision Group MD.
Nelson who has close ties to State House received billions of shillings from the government meant for the entire sector. However, somehow the money ended up in his personal account as per Kabushenga.

![[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.
