The MP together with a group of friends decided to visit the family to his former driver by the names of Kawuma Yasin ( deceased ) who was shot dead recently during the by-elections in West Nile, Arua where Bobi Wine and other opposition members went to campaign for their candidate, Kassiano Wadri.
Here’s Bobi Wine’s message.
As we pray for him to continue resting in peace, may we work even harder and put an end to such senseless, extra-judicial killings of our people. Later, I visited our comrades who were brutalized in Arua and are currently receiving treatment at Lubaga and Mengo hospitals.
I was glad to note that despite their physical pain, comrades Atiku Shaban, Asara Night and Sauda Madaada are still devoted to the struggle for our nation’s freedom. I also visited our brother ‘Sweet Pepsi’ who was beaten terribly by soldiers.
Such an innocent man whose only crime was expressing his joy at my return! Together, we prayed that our nation sees better days in our lifetime. We shall overcome.

![[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.
