Winnie Byanyima has said her husband is being accused of being a public nuisance. Apparently, this is what she was told when she went to visit him in prison.
Byanyima used her social media platforms to communicate this message.
“Visited my partner @kizzabesigye1 at Murchison Bay, Luzira Prison. He looks well and his spirit is strong. I asked why he wasn’t at Upper Prison where he is a frequent guest, they said he has a smaller crime – of being a public nuisance!”
Dr. Kizza Besigye has been in Prison for over four weeks now after they arrested for apparently trying to cause havoc in the city. Besigye was walking in protest of the high commodity and fuel prices in the country.
According to him, government was not doing enough to deal with this situation and yet a number of people were suffering. Unfortunately up until now, whatever he was protesting against is still going on.
However, the prices have only climbed higher and currently fuel prices are above 6000. As government promised indeed, they have done nothing about it.
Slowly people have also stopped talking about it and have learned to live within their means
Meanwhile, most people concentrated on Byanyima’s message on the part of her calling her husband a partner.
Looks like most of the people were not comfortable with it and they didn’t like it.
“Call him your lovely husband please as a sign of respect. He married you and you owe him maximum respect and treasurer. This is biblically demanded from you to us men. Kindly live by example cos you are quite an educated and well-informed lady,” a one Mukasa Joseph.
Most of the people simply wanted to know why it is so difficult for Byanyima to call Besigye husband. Some took it a notch higher saying probably even not taking Besigye’s name was intentional.

![[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.
