Sejusa said that Generals fight over big things such as power, ideology, security and war and not petty things such as political parties or money.
The former army general said that he was shocked when the former Leader of Opposition Prof. Ogenga Latigo revealed that he couldn’t be allowed to take his old laptop as he was leaving office years ago.
“General fight over bigger things; power, ideology, security & war. Not little pennies & dimes! FDC money, now NUP money eee! I listened to Hon Latigo who couldn’t even be rewarded with his old laptop. Governments don’t reward Opposition politicians, they ARREST THEM! UG politics,” said Sejusa.
It should be noted that the National Unity Platform has been embroiled in an internal dispute. This is spearheaded by the party president Hon Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu against the former LOP, Mathias Mpuuga.
NUP asked the Mukungwe-Nyendo MP to step down after allegations that he pocketed a whooping Shs500m.
Mpuuga on the other hand has stood his ground and said that he won’t resign from his Commissioner of Parliament position.
This is because he never partook in corruption as is alleged. However, it’s just a plot by a small minded group in the party fronting family interests that is mudslinging him.

![[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.
