According to Oulanyah, the debate will generate a collective understanding of what government plans to do. This therefore will enable legislators to critique with knowledge and focus.
This is not the first time the Speaker of Parliament Jacob Oulanyah is tabling this issue. He says the debate will guide parliament in the execution of the government agenda for the people.
Not only that, it will also generate a collective understanding of what government plans to do and why. According to the speaker, they will organize this debate early next year
Most of the legislators loved the Speaker’s proposal of a special debate. Apparently, it will give an opportunity to iron out the outstanding issues affecting Uganda’s democracy and development.
However, opposition legislators led by their Chief Whip John Baptist Nambeshe said such a debate will never see the light of day because it will be frustrated by the NRM.
Well, it would be a good one if it comes to light. It will also give voters a picture of the kind of leaders they put in power and where they want the country to be. If not for anything, many already think this debate should actually take place.

![[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.
