Countries that support homosexuality were not happy about it. The United states even cut off the aid that was being given to Uganda.
President Museveni then said he doesn’t care about what these developed countriesare doing to Uganda. If they are forcing Ugandans to do abnormal things, he will not be able to allow that.
Different politicians and members of parliament have been asked about what they think of the Anti-Homosexuality bill especially when they are out of the country.
According to Betty Nambooze, she has been asked about the anti home- sexuality bill several times. She said she always tells those people that even the married in Uganda don’t have rights.
The outspoken politician said she doesn’t expect homosexuals to have any rights, especially in a country like Uganda.
“The issue of the Anti-Homosexuality Bill has been asked to very many people. I was asked too, and I told them in Uganda, even married couples don’t have rights. Doesn’t Kibalama have a wife?” she said.
It should be noted that the opposition leaders don’t usually give comments about the Anti-Homosexuality bill. They always let those in power talk about it.

![[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.
