This report showed that there are high levels of unequal and unfair jobs distribution in the CEO positions in the country.
According to the report, the western region takes a lion’s share with 47% of the available positions in the civil service. The northern region follows at a distant 20%, the central region is at 18% while the eastern region takes 15%.
According to Bobi Wine, when he recently pointed out the regime’s shortfalls in terms of tribe, he was branded a tribalist.
Besides, the regime even plotted to charge him with promoting sectarianism. But fortunately and bravely, the Equal Opportunities Commission pointed out these inequalities.
Additionally, the former MP said that the regime and its apologists should now take time and reflect on the Uganda needed by everyone.
“When I spoke about injustice and inequalities in our society, the regime branded me a tribalist. They even plotted to charge me with promoting sectarianism! Now the Equal Opportunities Commission, to their credit and at great risk, boldly brought out the glaring inequalities! Hopefully, the regime and its apologists can now take time to reflect on the Uganda we deserve,” he said.
The former presidential candidate also said that the mission of NUP is to build a country at peace with itself and its neighbors. The party also wants a country centered on fairness, meritocracy and equity.
It’s the only way to guarantee prosperity for Ugandans and generations to come according to Bobi Wine.

![[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.
