This followed the Deputy Speaker of Parliament Hon Thomas Tayebwa’s comments in regards to the LGBTQS.
Tayebwa while at the Organization of the African, Caribbean and Pacific States Parliamentary Assembly said that Uganda can never pass laws supporting LGBTQS or abortion.
“Homosexuality, abortion are issues that can never be accepted. If people want to be homosexuals or what, we have no problem. Let them have their life but promotion of that in our country can never be accepted!,” said Hon Tayebwa.
This saw Nyanjura wonder why African values are measured by sexuality. She asked if there aren’t any bars from which values in Africa can be measured by. Nyanjura went ahead to wonder why sex is rated so highly.
She then said that its the reason why girls instead of working hard are stressed by marriage partners.
“Why should we always reduce African values to only sexuality? Don’t we have other African values to talk about, values like honesty, integrity and hard-work?? Why is sex rated so highly? No wonder instead of our girls working hard, they are stressed about a marriage partners?”
A number of her followers proceeded to ask her if she wants to disagree with the Deputy Speaker’s remarks.
Some of them asked her if she supports homosexuality. This prompted her to clarify on her views in regards to homosexuality by saying “For the record, I don’t support homosexuality!”
Many said that from Tayebwa’s comments, it’s known that homosexuals and abortions exist in Uganda. However, they can’t be legally approved but can be done behind the vicinity.

![[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.
