Contrary to what everyone thought, Andrew Muwonge won the elections with 31, 830 votes according to the Electoral Commission. The silence in Kayunga was so loud even after announcing the winner.
Erias Lukwago said with the drama that was involved in the elections, the best suiting award for Byabakama should be an award of Janzi.
Janzi awards are given to artists in the Entertainment world. Could Lukwago be communicating something? Bobi Wine simply agreed with him by retweeting this reposting on his page.
Kayunga elections according to many are still a mystery. Though NUP claimes their agents found stuffed ballot boxes, authorities have done nothing about it.
The EC or even security didn’t give comments about it. Was it something negligible? Much as people have been asking for answers for the irregularities involved in the elections, the EC has not addressed the issue as yet.
Meanwhile, most of the arrested including journalists are still in jail up until now. This alone has aroused questions on the transparency of these elections among the people. In any case, Looks like Kayunga is currently is now yellow regardless.

![[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.
