Shortly after the declaration, Bobi Wine ran to his social media to express his happiness for William Ruto.
“I congratulate the President-Elect of the Republic of Kenya, H.E. @WilliamsRuto. Throughout the campaigns, the election and the Election Petition, Kenya has proven that its democracy has come of age. The Region has many lessons to learn. I congratulate the great people of Kenya.”
Most of the people didn’t seem to like the message because they saw it as hypocrisy. Tweeps claim they all know who Bobi Wine was supporting in the race.
Within no minute photos of Bobi Wine and Raila Odinga surfaced on Twitter. The politician was so quickly accused of behaving like a chameleon and being an attention seeker every opportunity he finds.
“If I remember very well, you didn’t want to know anything about @WilliamsRuto, so have you changed sides? Stay with your colleagues who lose in everything,” a one Atim Skylar commented.
“Your association & support for Raila Odinga was wrong, principally. It went against the norms you advocated for. Powerful men shouldn’t conspire to impose a man on the country. Never! A man born in the ghetto shd have equal chance at the presidency like one born in the palace,” a one Bugason reacted.
Regardless of all this though, Bobi Wine commended Odinga for his participation in the democracy of Kenya in his view.
However, the people don’t seem to understand how Bobi Wine apparently preferred a man from a well-to-do family to a ghetto grown man. For many, this looks like the irony of life.

![[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.
