Mao had promised that the two MPs will attain justice as soon as possible. Lukwago said this at the special mass dedicated to the two jailed legislators.
“It goes without saying that justice delayed is justice denied. I would like to extend my message with a lot of humility to Hon Norbert Mao to fulfill your promise, your words should not be political. This is painful and we are seeking justice,” he said.
David Lewis Rubongoya, the NUP secretary general also said the abductions of people have resumed again in drones. For this cause, he said the clergy should step into the situation.
“As I speak right now drones are back, the abductions of our innocent people have resumed. Here at Makindye one of our members was abducted. We spent more than three days searching for him. After a lot of consultation, we realized our comrade was taken to Chieftaincy Of Military Intelligence (CMI),” he said.
Meanwhile, Mao has in word been saying he is working on this matter but he apparently found a lot of pending work at the office. The two legislators in question have been in jail for now a full year and a month.

![[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.
