Bobi Wine has blamed the government for failing to ensure health welfare for vulnerable citizens. He said this reacting to the police dispersing his wife who had gone to Kikamulo health centre III in Nakaseke.
The police used live bullets to disperse the crowds that were around Barbie Kyagulanyi. Apparently she had taken beds to this hospital to accommodate the sick.
In reaction to what took place, Barbie said that she did not know why police were unleashing teargas on them. According to her, they had not done nothing illegal.
The police though says they were so many and yet we are still in the Covid battle. Barbie though insists that her and the National Unity Platform MPs had gone to deliver relief items to teenage mothers in the area.
Meanwhile, Bobi Wine says the ministry of Education has failed to live up to their word. He says much as they promised to give sanitary pads to the girls, they have done nothing so far.
He insists that this is the cause of so many dropouts especially from families that are under privileged.
“As a result, many school girls from underprivileged families continue to drop out of school for lack of sanitary pads. Now beset with shame, the regime is keen on ensuring that no one else fulfils the basic duties it has failed to fulfil. Soon enough, we shall overcome this madness,” he wrote.

![[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.
