Bobi Wine first of all thanked the unity East Africa has been exhibiting against oppression even before independence. According to him, it’s this unity that helped East Africa gain independence.
“It is such unity that helped them regain independence from colonialists starting with Tanzania in 1961, Uganda in 1962, and Kenya in 1963.” Kyagulanyi said.
He stated that it is this same unity that Tanzanians used during the 1970s to help Uganda in fighting the government of Idi Amin. He, therefore, appealed to them to bring back the same energy.
Bobi Wine empathized with CHADEMA’s president over all the challenges he has been through trying to fight for freedom.
Chairman Freeman Mbowe was released just recently after spending 7 months in jail on politically-motivated terrorism charges. His deputy and 2020 presidential flag bearer, Tundu Mughwai Lissu, is still in exile after surviving an attempted assassination.
“I congratulated our CHADEMA comrades upon the gains they have registered in their struggle so far, and encouraged them to soldier on until they achieve true freedom,” he added.
The politician has not given his quest to remove President Museveni who he sees as a dictator. Much as elections in 2021 showed otherwise, he believes he has the support of the people.

![[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.
