The Court of Appeal is the final court to determine parliamentary and local council election disputes. The election appeals arose from the earlier decisions of the High Court in regard to the January 2021 General Election.
According to the Judicial statement released last on Sunday evening, four registrars will ensure that they handle conferencing for the appeals in a timely manner.
The four registrars are Susan Kanyange, Dr Alex Mushabe Karocho, Lillian Bucyana and Henry Twinomuhwezi.
According to Ms. Kanyange, the preliminary stages of conferencing will take not more than 21 days before actual hearings take off.
Additionally, some of the parliamentary election appeals today include that of Mr Julius Galisonga. She is challenging the decision of the High Court to dismiss his election petition against the incumbent MP for Bugweri, Mr Abdu Katuntu.
Registrar Kanyange also said the hearing of the said election appeals will take precedence over other business at the Nakasero-based court.
This is because the election laws demand that any other business can wait and court concentrates on disposing of election matters.

-EPP 20/2021 Fred Nyanzi Fred Ssentamu Vs 1.EC 2.The Returning Officer Kampala Central 3. Nsereko Mohammed -EPP 32/2021 Lubadde Edgar Vs 1.Nsubuga Paul (Academic Qualifications) 2. The.

![[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.
