In a video making rounds on social media, the women are seen fighting for the prominent spot at the podium. The lady who came from behind and supposedly the first wife, kept pushing until she was seen in front. MP. Attan just kept telling the women to relax but all in vain. This incident paused the event for some seconds as they waited for the situation to calm.
Most of the people on social media just kept asking themselves why Attan brought both women to cause such an embarrassment.
“Wait a minute? So the MP invited them both and didn’t discuss who stands where? But women again why? And both see this a moment to show off.”
“Did they ambush him at the gate of parliament? Did he invite both? Or the other just ambushed the duo? Let’s pray for our man for whatever might be happening now at home.”
Meanwhile, swearing-in is still going on and today is one of those that will excite people. This is because MP-elect, Mohammad Segirinya is scheduled to swear in. However, looks like he will not since he is still in Nairobi undergoing treatment. Apparently, doctors say he is not fit enough to travel to Uganda for now.

![[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.
