It instead should have been parents of the learners leading the charge. This is because teachers are so important to the upbringing of these learners.
“A fight for the teachers’ welfare should not be by the teachers. It should be fought by the parents. We understand how important this is for our children,” Besigye said.
Kizza Besigye who recently came out of jail for protesting about the high prices of basic commodities also addressed the current economic crisis. Contrary to what the government says about Covid-19 causing the crisis and the Ukraine-Russia crisis, Besigye thinks otherwise. According to Besigye, the extremely exploitative system of Museveni is the cause.
“The economic crisis was not caused by the COVID-19 pandemic or the Ukrainian war. The cause is the extremely exploitative system of the Museveni junta. It starts with the capture of the state and a few people controlling the resources of our country,” Dr KB added.
Besigye also said that people should understand why the government uses force on them. It’s to chain them and take what’s theirs. They should be therefore aiming on how to defeat this force.
Besigye also says that to defeat the current economic situation, we need to change how they handle money in the country. There is a need of a totally different budget from the one ‘Kasaija and his slave master read.’
For the fuel crisis, Besigye applauded ex-president Idi Amin who built fuel reserves in Jinja. However, the NRM government which refers to him as ‘swine’ just handed them to an Indian investor.

![[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.
