Some of them feel that their party has gone off track and the next general elections might be an abyss for them.
A one Kirya UG, who is famous for promoting Bobi Wine content said that the party lost it when they brought the vetting system.
They should have let the young people who started the struggle take it further and assume political positions. However, when they went into a vetting process, they threw the young capable, and hungry people out.
They then brought in the likes of Kazibwe Bashir, Twaha Kagabo who have gone ahead to cross to the MK Movement.
“NUP should have left the young generation that started their struggle to carry it on and even get chances to represent their people in the parliament. Imagine they went into vetting and ended up throwing the young people out then bringing in the old people. These Kazibwe Bashir(s), add on Kagabo Twaha, Lwanga Jimmy who even publicly crossed to the MK movement. If young people were given a chance through that vetting criteria, they wouldn’t have disappointed their voters. Kati labba struggle yafukka ya kku launchinga film.”
Another social media user who is also a strong NUP/Bobi Wine supporter said that some of the party MPs have totally done nothing. He pointed to some of them and wondered what they had really done.
“But the truth is, some NUP Mps have really been a disappointment to the people who put them in their positions. Look at Kazibwe Bashir, Mukasa Aloysius, Shamim Malende, the like of Geoffrey Lutaaya… You really wonder what these guys are doing.”
Additionally, an X user known as General Kyagulanyist took to Bobi Wine’s X Twitter page and called him out. This was as the singer/politician sympathized with Russian opposition leader Alex Navalny who died yesterday.
According to this social media user, Navalny was a true opposition leader because he was never always out in foreign countries.
“Those are the real opposition unlike you my President who is in and out of the country thrice a month…
Mr President, we need to start the groundwork, mobilizing the north and west. Your trips abroad are more than visits/tours in these regions… My President, we have work to do.”
Several opinions are still coming out to point out issues in which NUP has underperformed. One said that the party weakened itself in its stronghold, Masaka sub-region. It was not good to depose Hon Mathias Mpuuga as the leader of the opposition.
This is because NUP has many MPs there and the area is predominantly Catholic. These factors are crucial in Ugandan politics.

![[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.
