Bobi Wine said this quoting a headline in the observer that read that they have ordered the MPs to make sure the bail bill must pass. He said this is evidence that Museveni is hell-bent on making their lives very difficult.
“Always looking for more repressive tactics, #DictatorMuseveni is now hell-bent on scrapping bail for ‘capital offences’ in our laws. An absolute joke, in a country where people are each day framed because they disagree with him. One would expect the MPs to learn from history,” he wrote.
He expressed his disappointment in Members of Parliament who have failed to learn from history. He emphasized the fact that when they pass such bills, the very MPs are the first victims.
“The MPs ought to THINK TWICE. Those who have championed such illegal, repressive and immoral laws have always been the first victims. History is replete with examples. Above all, we can only end this madness by #RemovingtheDictator. We all have a role to play.”
Museveni has been so bent on passing the bail bill into law saying capital offenders don’t deserve bail. It should however be remembered that this suggestion came in after MPs Ssegirinya and Ssewanyana were arrested.
This is why regardless of the positive impacts it may have, people want to think it’s very political and selfish.
This is a debate that is still ongoing and highly followed because people want to know where it is heading.

![[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.
