Social media has become the easiest platform to raise a voice. Honorable Zaake Francis, a fellow MP for Mityana and a friend to the Kyadondo East MP, Bobi Wine has also contributed to cautioning the government and Uganda police about the ongoing cancellation of Bobi’s shows.

While emphasizing about fighting employment in the country, Zaake Francis mentioned that Bobi’s concerts were partially helpful towards creating job opportunities to Ugandans but because of greed and power, they decided to shut down his shows.
“Separation of power is one of the tenets of constitutionalism.
Uganda cannot claim to be a constitutional state when the executive undermines the decisions made by the legislature.
Police and the army are organs of state under the executive.
Whenever Bobi Wine’s shows are blocked many Ugandans are denied an opportunity to earn, many may not understand this but factually there are many people including government that do benefit from Bobi Wine’s shows so whenever such shows are blocked many are affected and for the same reason the matter was presented as being of national importance before Parliament.
At least for once you should have respected your commitment not to stop Bobi Wine shows, that would perhaps mollify the grievances caused in 2018 but since you have been consistently dishonest, we never expected anything positive out of your utterances.”
Don’t forget that Zaake Francis was a comrade who suffered a victim together with Bobi Wine in Arua district a few months ago.

![[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.
