He had joined them for a meet and greet following his charity concert that was canceled on Saturday.
After joining politics five years ago, the musician turned politician continues to be influential among Ugandans. His movement on the streets of Dubai proved that Ugandans both in the country and abroad are influenced by him.
Waving to the crowds from the car, Kyagulanyi got implored to retire from his car to take a walk on the street. Several Ugandans joined him in the walk and then shared their experiences in the UAE.
Majority of the stranded confessed to him that it is their desire to return home, as the redundancy in Dubai has largely devastated them.
“Mr. President (Bobi Wine), we are grateful for your sacrifices for a better Uganda. We appreciate you for being resilient and ambitious. You have exposed the weaknesses of officials at the embassy. These guys don’t listen to our cries,” cried out one Ugandan.
Another Ugandan said it is not surprising that the government has failed to get the Ugandans back home yet it stopped the concert.
At the end of this week, Bobi’s visit to the UAE will come to a conclusion. This will also see him fly to Boston in USA to join Ugandans with whom they will strategize on saving the stranded in Dubai.

![[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.
