While addressing a press conference yesterday for Eid, Bobi Wine pointed this out.
When an NBS microphone was put in front of him, he cheekily said that he wishes the way they put the mic in front of him is the same that they love him.
“NBS I wish the way you put your microphone in front of me is the same way that you love me. That would have made a lot more sense,” he said.
This saw different opinions from the NBS journalists who were around. They started to tell him that not all of them hate him, some like him.
Apparently, there is a sense of belief in the public that the Naguru-based TV station hates opposition. They believe that the TV station is a State enabler simply paid to fuel rifts in opposition.
These always point out that the TV Station doesn’t miss out on reporting about any bad thing in the party.
They also feel that NBS reports a lot of propaganda and unsubstantiated news to paint the party as if it’s on the brink of collapse. Besides, they believe that the station gives a lot of airplay to its (NUP) critics.
Meanwhile on the other hand the Kin Karisa-owned Media house has also pointed out that it works for nobody. They say that nobody covers the NUP’s positive side more than they do. Therefore, these allegations of bias are just untrue.

![[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.
