While addressing the Facebook closure circus in Uganda once again, Museveni said that they expressed their problems to the company. If they work on them, he has no problem reopening the social media platform in the country.
However, life hasn’t stopped because the company severed it’s services in Uganda. Life has continued to move on normally without any hindrance.
“We have our problems with Facebook and we have expressed them. If they are worked on, we have no problems opening Facebook. At least, life has not stopped because of it. Boda Bodas are moving well, and commuter taxis are making their trips as usual. Life goes on,” said Museveni.
On landing on Museveni’s message, Bobi Wine said that Museveni is detached from reality. The ex Kyadondo East MP said that it’s absurd Museveni thinks Facebook closure hurts the company more than it does to Ugandans.
Bobi Wine proceeded to mock Museveni by saying that Sevo thinks he chased Facebook out of Uganda.
The last time he checked, even some government agencies use Facebook to post updates.
“Absolutely detached from reality. How sad, that he thinks his closure of Facebook in Uganda actually hurts Facebook more than it hurts the country! He even thinks he chased Facebook out of Uganda….. The last I checked, even Police makes daily posts on Facebook.”
Facebook was closed in 2021 prior to the 2021 General elections. This is after Museveni accused it of arrogance after it removed ‘fake’ accounts and pages linked to his re-election campaign.

![[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.
