Gen David Sejusa aka Tinyefuza has come out to pay homage to the late Gen Elly Tumwine. Sejusa through his Twitter page decided to eulogize his fellow bush war hero.
According to Gen Sejusa, the Ugandan flag does not fly because the wind moves it, it does so with every last breath of each soldier that died protecting it.
He concluded by praying for the Lord to comfort Tumwine’s remnants.
“Our flag does not fly because the wind moves it. It flies with the last breath of each soldier who died protecting it. May the Lord comfort Jolly, the children and the larger family. Rest in Peace Comrade,” said Gen Sejusa.

Talking further about Gen Elly Tumwine who was buried yesterday in his upcountry home in Mukuru, Rwemikoma Subcounty in Kazo District, Sejusa said that they were like brothers.
The late even visited him after his exile a few years ago and they hugged and cried together. This was after Sejusa’s self-exile alluding to the Muhoozi succession rumors.
Additionally, Sejusa said that Tumwine called him 3 months ago and was so happy about their pending retirement. Tumwine was listed as number one and Sejusa in number two among the officers to be retired.
“We have been together since. When I came from exile, he came to my home. As we hugged and cried! Then he rang me in May this year. It was about our impending retirement, where he was 1st on the list and I followed. He sounded full of life and he told me about his vision/plans during retirement,” Sejusa narrated.
Gen David Sejusa also added that people like Tumwine never die. This is because their deeds stay with the masses forever.
The duo was set to retire in June before the ceremony got postponed. This was due to the new structure of payment and benefits to the soldiers.

![[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.
