It should be recalled that the highly learned minister studied from Makerere.
During an exclusive interview with NBS TV, she said that lecturers sleeping with students to award them marks is not a new phenomenon. It was also there during her time.
Apparently, being a lecturer at the university meant that one had a lot of power. There are even lecturers who threaten to fail students if they don’t sleep with them.
She cited herself as an example with a particular lecturer who wanted to do the same to her. However, she stood her ground and dared him to fail her.
Being a clever girl, she told him everyone would try to find out why she failed only his subject and passed the others. This is where she would expose him.
“Being in a teaching position at the university, you had a lot of power. We had lecturers who swore that if a girl didn’t sleep with them, they would never graduate.”
“That issue of sex and marks started way back. Personally, one of the lecturers told me; you know I have the power to fail you? I told him not to dare because everybody would try to find out why I had failed his subject. After all, I was going to pass other subjects and fail his which would start an investigation.”
Meanwhile, Monica Musenero has been in the limelight since the COVID-19 pandemic for some controversial reasons. One of them is the Ugandan satellite that was reportedly sent to space about a year ago.
She said that the lifespan of this satellite was 12 months and after that, it was deorbited. They are now trying to build another one to send it back. When this satellite was launched, it was a big milestone for Uganda according to the Minister.

![[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.
