This comes after the President ordered a crackdown on all those who had announced him dead a few weeks back.
Mr Museveni while addressing a crowd last week ordered police to track down all those that had announced him dead.
This was because it had raised unnecessary commotion and worry among people.
However, the outspoken legislator feels that this is being too authoritarian.
The President should instead use the policies and regulations handed out by these social media companies.
Nambooze said that the reason such people as announcing him dead is because the whole country is insane.
“If someone annoys you on social media, simply unfollow/unfriend/delete them. It is terrible to announce you dead.
The reason why people announce others who are alive dead is because the whole country is insane.” Hon Betty Nambooze said while appearing on NBS Frontline program.
Hon Patrick Nsamba who was in the studio too said that these announcements are made by youths who feel the president is very old and should retire.
The opposition Mp said that everyone at one time has been announced or their people declared dead.
It’s a common phenomenon that the President shouldn’t have fussed over.
He added that the arrests he ordered are just a cover up to arrest those who do not support him.
The RCC of Kampala who was a guest in the studio however said it was wrong and immoral for people to announce the President dead.

![[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.
