He however chickened out from attending the burial ceremony of Hon Jacob Oulanyah.
Kabanda added that Bobi Wine is going to commiserate with the late’s family today 9th April 2022. The NRM MP said that the late Hon Jacob Oulanyah taught Ugandans the spirit of Ubuntu (togetherness).
Kabanda also said that, unlike NUP supporters, they don’t embarrass fellow mourners. Therefore Kyagulanyi is highly welcome.
“I am aware Hon Kyagulanyi was in Gulu yesterday but feared to attend the burial in Omoro. He plans to commiserate with the family today. The late taught us the spirit of Ubuntu. We don’t heckle or embarrass fellow mourners irrespective of our differences. We welcome him to Omoro,” Kabanda said.
There was a lot of talk about NUP and its affiliates attending this burial ceremony. The party had faced backlash from sections of the public, especially from the North over the way they treated Hon Oulanyah’s sickness.
Some supporters identifying as NUP went ahead to protest in Seattle where the late was undergoing treatment. This was criticized a lot by the NRM, its affiliates, and those close to the late Speaker.
Bobi Wine and some of the top officials came out to endorse these protests. They said that the protest wasn’t about Oulanyah but the decayed health system back in Uganda.
These didn’t stop here but criticized the high budget of Oulanyah’s funeral. There were fears that if these graced the ceremony, chaos and dangerous clashes would break out.

![[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.
