NabbanjaDeputy lord mayor Doreen Nyanjura and other netizens have come out to react to a photo of NBS journalist and politician Simon Kaggwa Njala kneeling towards the Prime Minister Rt Hon Robinah Nabbanja.
This was during the burial ceremony of the late former Democratic Party president and seasoned politician Dr Paul Kawanga Ssemwogerere.
A picture making headlines shows Njala kneeling besides Robinah Nabbanja as they engage in a conversation. Nyanjura who is a vocal voice against some cultural practices was overjoyed by the photo.
She revealed that she likes it when men kneel too. Perhaps this makes her feel that such a gesture contributes to gender equality.
“You know me, I told you I like it when men kneel,” she said.
Njala might have knelt down as sign of respect to the Prime Minister. Besides his standing posture could have blocked a number of people behind from accessing the burial proceedings.
Kaggwa Njala himself reacted to the photo which was taken and uploaded by his workmate, Francis Isano.
A playful Kaggwa Njala revealed it’s time to take matters into his own hands since the Computer Misuse Act won’t deal with Isano.
“If the computer misuse law doesn’t work let me deal with this lanky fellow bare knuckle. Akasajja tekampa breathing space. Isano ggwe!!! You won’t see heaven.”
Meanwhile the burial had a number of Politicians both from the government and opposition. Dr Kiiza Besigye, Bobi Wine, Lord mayor Erias Lukwago, Gen Katumba Wamala among others were some of those in attendance.

![[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.
