This has actually not gone down well with a huge section of the public who accuse these artistes and the government of squandering taxpayers money.
Lanek took to the street dressed weirdly with his head sprinkled with white chalk-like substance. He started wailing and pleading with Gen Saleh to call him too to meet him.
Lanek said that the Gen has called secular artistes and promoters but has never bothered to call the gospel ones.
He was meanwhile reading scriptures to support his argument on why the general should call him too.
“Gen Saleh why don’t you call us too. You have called all the secular artistes and promoters to Gulu. I want you to call me too to Gulu to meet you. If we did anything wrong as gospel musicians, please tell us we repent. We are a registered federation and besides, we don’t need a lot of money like those secular artistes.” Lanek said.
This was a comical moment as he was not expected to be so desperate to such an extent.
It should be noted that a few months back Lanek almost exchanged blows with fellow gospel singer Exodus at NBS studios. Exodus accused Lanek of describing himself as the president of gospel artistes yet he’s not the one. The Igwe singer even said Lanek is not a gospel artiste because he has no music.
This saw motor-mouthed Wisdom Kaye come out to say that Lanek is a schemer who wants to defraud Gen Saleh.
He promised that if Saleh falls for this bait and calls him to Gulu, Kaye would go with a jerrycan of petrol and burn down Lanek.

![[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.
