He further added that the NRM has made the country an integrated community. This is because unity has prevailed despite the numerous differences.
According to the Minister, Ugandans are now proud to be called Ugandans unlike in the past.
“NRM has made Uganda an integrated community. There is relative unity, and Ugandans continue to see themselves as Ugandans despite the issues that divide us. Ugandans are now proud to be associated with Uganda, which wasn’t the case in the past.
NRM has made Uganda move from a low level to a high level,” the Minister said while appearing on NBS TV’s Frontline program.
His comments however drove viewers and social media users into a very furious and ferocious debate.
Most of the respondents to Baryomunsi’s remarks clearly disagreed with him, especially on the status of the economy. The majority of these stated that it seems the MP leaves somewhere out of Uganda.
FDC joined in the debate too saying that Baryomunsi is one of the 14 million people who are mentally sick in Uganda. This is in a relation to a recent publication by New Vision in which the paper said that about 14 million Ugandans are mentally sick.

In regards to the NRM chairman, Mr. Museveni ‘Museveni-ing’ the party and imposing himself on the country, Baryomunsi denied this.
He said that the NRM has structures at all levels up to the village level. It’s a well-anchored party where everything doesn’t depend on Museveni.
According to Baryomunsi, Museveni has never imposed himself on Ugandans, it’s rather their will that he’s the president.

![[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.
