Bobi Wine made these remarks after paying a visit to Ssegirinya in Mulago where he is receiving treatment from. He informed his people that Ssegirinya’s health is worrying.
“He has complained of excruciating pain in his foot, and breathing difficulties. We have learnt from him that several state operatives and politicians keep frequenting his treatment room and harassing him to apologize to dictator Museveni and denounce the struggle or else he will not be freed from his misery,” said Kyagulanyi.
Bobi Wine rebuked the government for the continued detention of the sick MP. He also says if anything happens to him, it will be the government to blame. They rushed MP Ssegirinya to hospital on Friday.
Apparently, his condition kept worsening from Kitalya Prison where they had detained him. Ssegirinya had on very many occasions told the court that he needs medication but they ignored it.
Ssegirinya alongside his colleague, Allan Ssewanyana are facing charges of murder and attempted murder. They detained them in September and up until now, court keeps denying them bail.
Currently, the government is planning to move a motion on the floor of Parliament to deny bail to capital offenders until proven innocent.

![[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.
