He made these remarks while chairing a meeting in which NUP leaders under the LOP Hon Mathias Mpuuga launched the Legislative Agenda at Parliament.
Kyagulanyi said many regime apologists often accuse them of not having alternative policy proposals. Bobi Wine however said that their critics do this in bad faith. He then went ahead to encourage everyone to read the policy alternative launched.
Bobi Wine implored all NUP MPs to keep in mind the environment in which they operate.
He further said that no matter how good their policy alternatives are, they won’t achieve anything till they address the question of governance. Kyagulanyi added that once they address this, then they will be able to implement their policy alternative.
In his own words, Kyagulanyi said that “I therefore charge MPs and all leaders to remain committed to the cause of removing the dictatorship which holds our country captive.”
The former presidential candidate also said that every dictator strives to get a few opposition leaders and ensure that they are comfortable. Kyagulanyi further added that dictatorship is all about pleasing a few leaders at the expense of the majority.
“While he steals trillions, he occasionally throws at them crumbs in the hope that they will be diverted. My hope and prayer is that our leaders will look beyond the temporary comfort. And work for a country where every citizen will have an opportunity to live in peace and with dignity”. Kyagulanyi wrote on his Facebook page.
He concluded by thanking the parliamentary leadership of NUP who made the event successful.

![[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.
