“Anita has already demonstrated that she is not a unifier. She is going to run the House as her personal home and that is why when she got annoyed with Francis Zaake, you know what happened to Zaake.”
“I am told in Parliament; you don’t have to annoy the speaker because if you annoy her you can never be given an opportunity to say something [on the floor]. You have to be so good to the speaker. For me, she’s just going to be Museveni’s puppet, I don’t really expect much from her,” she added.
Doreen Nyanjura also hinted on how political parties can’t exactly come together. She says they have different ideologies and can only come together on different occasions.
“I believe in one struggle but different fronts. I have given people different examples. We have had incidents where we have united as opposition for instance during Mabira demonstration, Togikwatako. Uniting political parties is a bit hard because [every party] has its own objectives. We need a platform and I think for a long time we have tried to create that. Currently we have the People’s Front for Transition.”
Doreen said this while in an interview with NBS TV. With her boss, Erias Lukwago, many have accused them of complaining a lot without working. However, Doreen disregarded all these calling it propaganda.

![[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.
