Buganda Prime Minister, Peter Mayiga has dismissed all the tribal links to Kyagulanyi’s victory in Buganda. He said there are so many issues in Buganda that led to Kyagulanyi’s victory in the region.
“I go to Buganda deep in the villages, the poverty is so much, young people are unemployed. There are programs but they are not benefiting them because they are haphazardly implemented. Corruption is also on the rampage”. He said.
The Buganda Prime Minister also added that any one bringing the tribal talk on table has their own interests and intentions. However, just before elections, Buganda twitter page posted something on their handle encouraging people to vote a person who knows the norms and traditions of Buganda. One who has Buganda at heart.
“Mwasuze Mutya Abaami n’Abazaana ba Kabaka. Ebula Olunaku lumu lwokka Okulonda kutuuke. Bwoba olonda Soosowaza oyo atya kabaka,ategeera ensonga za Buganda,akiika embuga era amanyi ennono n’Obuwangwa bwa Buganda.”
Many people interpreted that as Buganda kingdom indirectly campaigning for Kyagulanyi. It got so serious that the Kingdom officials pulled down the post.
The Katikiro said people voted for Bobi Wine in many other areas, why is Buganda a big deal.
“People voted for Kyagulanyi in the east and in many areas. They should first explain why they elected Kyagulanyi in Kadaga’s constituency. That is cheap talk, but in any case, Ankole voted for Museveni.”
If indeed its tribalism as people say, then probably every one is guilty because almost every candidate has high scores from places of their origin.

![[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.
