Popular journalist Andrew Mwenda took to his Twitter page to heap praise on the Ugandan prison system especially their ‘quality food.’ The journalist said that the prisoners in Uganda are very lucky to have such food.
This is because there are many people in Kampala who go three days without a meal.
The Independent Magazine CEO went ahead to praise the Uganda Prisons Director Dr Johnson Byabashaija for making Ugandan prisons the best in Africa.
“Yesterday I visited Kitalya prison and decided to eat the prisoners’ lunch. I was impressed by the quality of their food. Thank you to @jbyabs and team for making our prisons the best in Africa.
These prisoners are really lucky to be feasting on such food because there are people in Kampala who go three days minus having any food. I think I should come here and get myself free food and accommodation,” Andrew Mwenda said.

Mwenda’s followers however told him he was busy chewing administrators food which is okay.
But the inmates who he should have recorded a video with eat worse food.
“That’s not what the guys behind bars eat. You even had to add some salt in a special one cooked for the prison staff and guests like you. The best way to test the real food and conditions of a prison is to get arrested and spend there some days.”
The prison tales are different from each person in regards to the living conditions.
A majority of prison facilities in the country in dire conditions.

![[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.
