In a startling revelation, the Kaliro District Woman MP, Hon. Brenda Namukuta, stepped out of the shadows during a recent parliamentary session, shedding light on a distressing plea for protection not from political adversaries, but from a more formidable foe—her own husband.
Witnesses within the parliamentary chambers were left in disbelief as the typically reserved MP courageously recounted her husband’s aggressive behavior, attributing her numerous injuries to his misguided attempts at emulating martial arts legends like Jet Li, fueled by an obsession with kung fu cinema.
Recounting a chilling encounter linked to her stance on a crucial motion, Brenda Namukuta shared her ordeal, beseeching Deputy Speaker Thomas Tayebwa for protection, even suggesting the unconventional idea of enlisting nightclub bouncers as guardians to shield her from harm.

Amidst murmurs of a potential safeguard initiative for parliamentarians facing similar threats, Namukuta’s plea for safety resonated with her peers, hinting at a collective resolve to address the underlying issue and safeguard the well-being of all lawmakers.
Despite the shockwaves reverberating through the parliamentary corridors, Namukuta’s unwavering commitment to her duties shone through as she expressed willingness to support future motions, emphasizing the dire need to halt the cycle of violence and intimidation within her own home.
As speculations swirl regarding potential measures to address the escalating situation, insiders hint at Namukuta’s forthcoming legislative proposal, tentatively named The Domestic Chuck Norris Deterrence Act, signaling a proactive step towards combating domestic aggression and ensuring the safety of vulnerable individuals.

![[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.
