The NUP principal argued that government should cut taxes on wheat. This is because chapati is derived from it and most urban dwellers consume it. Furthermore, Bobi Wine said that the fact that President Museveni told people to eat cassava shows how detached he is from the common man’s reality.
His remarks left widespread opinions with some consenting to his comments whereas others bashed him saying that he is also detached from reality. This is because chapati is not a national food.
Others like Faridah Nakazibwe were left wondering if the delicacy is indeed essential. She took to her Twitter to ask her followers who hit back at her.
“Is chapati an essential item?” she tweeted.
This brought in a barrage of comments with some going as far as insulting her. Some even wondered why she would question Bobi Wine yet she was one of those hyping him prior to the elections.
“Is food an essential item. Hajjati tewasuliika. Bruno k akuzukuse toffuka kubuliri. Wheat , maize flour all are food in themselves,” a user decided to bring in the TV presenter’s alleged boyfriend.
“Just because you have money to buy expensive food doesn’t mean that 90% of the people that watch your shows can afford all that ….. Apparently, where in your day don’t you use wheat  Sometimes stick to the things that can make sense if you are paid to object facts,” another said.
“Omanyi mwerabira nyo , a person who failed to know a man she got married to, can’t know chapati is an essential item.”

![[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.
