Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine today has been scheduled to campaign from Gomba his home district. According to him, that is the place where he always spends his 24th December of each year. This year shouldn’t be any different.
However, this time round he is not just there to spend a good time with his family and friends, but to also campaign for a presidential seat come 2021.
Unfortunately, as the case is usually, even this time round it’s not so easy for him to carry out his campaigns. There were heavy trucks of police blocking his way but this didn’t even for a moment stop him from expressing his joy for being in Gomba. Fortunate for him, his supporters, always have his back.
When the police blocked his way, they started singing and chanting his songs.
When he got the chance to speak, he clearly noted that unlike Museveni, he is a real child of Gomba because he was born and raised there. He requested them to remember him come 14th January 2021.
“Abaana be Gomba nze omwana wamwe wano ndi wakka ndi mwana nzalwa yawano ewa Muzeyi Ssentamu. Nebwebatukuba amasasi batuzika wano. Empewo zekika mpulila nga zinfuwako, baganda bange mundabilanga ddala,” He said in Luganda
The 2021 elections are just getting closer and all tactics are out so long as they are legal and can earn the hearts of voters. Museveni has not been doing bad in the areas of Gomba when it comes to support.
We shall see how that will go. This time round, the son of the land is part of the race.

![[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.
