Most members of the public say this is how people start before crossing to the ruling party. Apparently, Speaker Among could not have visited just for anything as Mpuuga would like to think.
However, the public especially NUP supporters have advised Bobi Wine to be ready for anything henceforth.
“Dear @HEBobiwine, please read this TL. You might want to contemplate and determine whether having political journeyman @MathiasMpuuga as LOP is in the interest of furthering the struggle to remove tyrant Museveni and his dynasty from power. If not, please do the needful,” a one Ideologue Power said.
Some people even suggested another leader of the opposition because it looks like Mpuuga is on his way out of opposition.
“I think @ZaakeFrancis should be made the leader of opposition by @NUP_Ug given his history of resistance. In any case, there is nothing the population is getting from that M7 parliament, not even good legislation,” a one Jaffar Semakula.
However, Speaker Anita Among has always stated her desire for unity among legislators. She said she is only following the footsteps of her twin, late Jacob Oulanyah who was bent on uniting the whole Parliament.
This though doesn’t seem to sit well with so many Ugandans who say it’s NRM’s strategy to wipe away opposition completely.

![[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.
