Frank Gashumba came out to address the on going issue of tribalism that seems to be creeped in due to politics. Speaking to Journalists, he condemned all acts that are being done on people just because they belong to a certain tribe or country.
Recently he tweeted about tribalism in a statement that read, ‘I didn’t Choose my parents, am a Munyarwanda born and raised in Uganda. Proudly Ugandan’.
These whole issues were intensified by the political situation last week that left to the death of many innocent lives and others with fatal injuries.
Rioters in Kampala took the war on any one who looked like a westerner saying they are the reason as to why the country is in a sorry state. Besides tribalism, they reached a point of undressing every one who had on a yellow cloth on them.
In this time and era mixing any struggle with tribalism shows the highest degree of backwardness in the country. It is very barbaric for any fight to stand on grounds of tribalism. Why would someone destroy another person’s business just because they belong to a certain tribe.
Common sense will tell you that no one chooses which tribe to belong to but all of us find ourselves in places just because of the DNA we carry.
Every struggle losses meaning when the grounds it stands on are a cause of trauma to others. Whether you like it or not, they will also be forced to react in self defense and that will be the beginning of unrest in the country.
We should never forget our history, if anything we should learn from it otherwise we shall be moving in cycles.

![[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.
