The government owned daily, the New Vision reported on Sunday that Kyagulanyi best known as Bobi Wine, who was attending the 106 anniversary of Gayaza Junior School, left immediately when he was invited to cut the cake with the Katikiro.
Bobi in his response, however, stated that he was sidelined at the event and denied the opportunity to speak as the area representative.
“To set the record straight, I was invited as area MP to attend Gayaza Junior School’s Day, celebrating 106 years. I attended the function, received the Katikiro and together, we inspected different exhibition stalls for students’ product,” Wine said.
He described the reporting as disturbing and trying to wrongly show that he is indisciplined.
“It is therefore rather disturbing that your article says that I left the function without cutting the cake and suggests that I just walked away after being invited to do the same! You surely know that is not true,” he wrote.
“I was at the function from 10am to 3pm (5hrs) and as protocol was being ‘observed’, many of the guests who were invited but didn’t show up had their representatives speak on their behalf.”
Wine stressed that when it was time for him for to be invited, instead a representative of the Wakiso Chief Administrative Officer was called in to do the job.
“Just at the point when the area M. was to be invited to welcome the Guest of Honour, the C.A.O’s representative was instead invited to perform that role.”
The new MP added that on the same day he had been invited to officiate at four different functions including Gayaza Junior School, Kinaawa Secondary School, Nangabo Youth Bicycle race and the Uganda Cranes vs South Sudan football match at Lugogo KCCA grounds.

![[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.
