Bobi Wine has appreciated musician Spice Diana for having a good heart. Spice Diana contributed to NUP’s campaign of bringing back girls that are stuck in the Middle East.
He expressed his gratitude via a post on social media.
“This morning, my beatitul sister @SpiceDianaUg paid for the repatriation of four Ugandan girls from the Middle East. When I called to thank her, she was like “come on brother, I did that for myself and fellow women. I gave myself an early birthday gift”. I was speechless.”
Bobi Wine started this campaign of bringing back Ugandans from the Middle East because according to him, government was doing nothing about it.
There were a number of Ugandans who were stranded in Saudi Arabia, UAE and other Arab nations. Apparently they wanted to come back home because conditions were so harsh in the middle East.
Bobi Wine has however emphasized that this is in no way a political affiliated program as it is being said in the news.
“To all fellow Ugandans, this is not political like some people want to paint it. You too can help our people either through us or through any body else. The objective is to ensure that we put an end to the suffering of so many Ugandans out there.”

![[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.
