Bobi Wine said that the reason he visited Ssegirinya was to check on his health and provide support.
The former Kyadondo East legislator said that Ssegirinya is in great pain. He added that the Kawempe North MP has been constantly threatened by the regime operatives.
The NUP principle also added that these operatives told Ssegirinya to apologize to President Museveni if he wants his freedom.
“Visited Hon. Muhammad Ssegirinya at Mulago Hospital to ascertain his state of health and give him moral support. He’s in great pain. He told us regime apologists and operatives have been frequenting him asking him to apologise to Gen. Museveni on camera if he wants his freedom!” Bobi Wine said.
Apparently, Ssegirinya was behind bars over charges linking him to the August-September Masaka murders. Authorities arrested him alongside Makindye West MP Allan Ssewanyana.
The court has also constantly denied the two bail after the President said that he will not scrap it for capital offences.
Despite Ssegirinya showing off his rotting foot in court via zoom and asking for advanced medical attention, they denied him. However, his situation got worse early this week and thry rushed him to Mulago hospital.
Yesterday security was beefed up in Kawempe after several reports had it that he was in a critical condition.

![[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.
