Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine ran to the supreme court immediately after EC announced President Museveni winner. He didn’t agree with the results claiming he had enough evidence to show that he won the elections. According to him, the elections were filled with a number of irregularities that made them really unfair and Imbalanced.
Just a few weeks into the case, Kyagulanyi broke the news that they were withdrawing the election petition case. In his view, the court made all possible means difficult for him with an intention of failing him. So, he preferred to take the case to the public court.
“After deeply reflecting upon the foregoing circumstances, I reached a decision that withdrawing the petition is the right thing to do. Since this court is not handling the petition with the independence, impartiality and equality I expected of it.” He said
What Museveni’s Camp says;
However, the lawyers of President Museveni assured everyone that they have no problem with the withdrawal of the case. They added though that Kyagulanyi’s indecorum was dismay to them.
“The applicant conducted himself with total lack of decorum and with contempt of this court when he held a press conference to announce his decision to withdraw the petition. Falsely claiming that his decision was based on the recusal of the three justices of this honourable court to recuse them. Yet no recusal application had been made by the applicant. The applicant in the same press conference made disparaging remarks on the justices of this honourable court.”
Clearly, this is going to be a long day too. Nonetheless, most of the people are waiting to hear the amount of money NUP has to pay to compensate NRM. Of course, there is a question of what next for NUP after this.

![[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.
