According to the 2023-24 financial year, the President’s office was allocated Shs239 billion. The State House was given Shs421 billion. This is a heavy and bloated budget which Nganda feels should be slashed down.
Some of the things that he pointed out that need to be cut down include several presidential advisors such as Catherine Kusasira and Buchaman. Apparently these weren’t passed by the Parliament.
However, Kusasira advised him to stop jumping on everything for clout. She added that the MP some time back called upon her to be boycotted but luckily she still gets hired.
Furthermore, she didn’t divulge into the money the FDC cadre said is wrong. She said that she was content with it.
Additionally, the Golden Band singer appreciated President Museveni for appointing Rt Hon Robinah Nabbanja as the PM. This is because she’s a people person who goes on ground.
“I want to advise Ssemujju to stop trying to uproot people’s luck. The money I get is not that much like the MPs. I bet if he has ever put a coin in his constituency. That’s why I thank President Museveni for appointing Nabbanja. She actually gets on ground and sees the kind of work we do. Ssemujju even Once said I should be boycotted but luckily people still hire me,” said Kusasira.
The two getting on the payroll comes after months they regretted joining the NRM. Buchaman even stated that he was ready to rejoin the Bobi Wine if he called upon him.
Meanwhile, Hon Ssemujju revealed that the two earn a salary of Shs 2.3m per month.

![[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.
