Bobi Wine will take an oath at the Parliament in front of fellow MPs and fans whom he urged to carry Ugandan flags.
“Mean while the swearing in has been slated for Tuesday 11th July 2017 (next week) at the Parliament of the Republic of Uganda. Don’t forget to carry your Uganda flag,” Bobi Wine posted on his various social media plat forms.
Last week on Thursday, Bobi Wine attained a land mark victory after gathering over 25,000 votes.
However, NRM’s Sitenda Sebalu has been threatening to petition Bobi’s win in the courts law while former area MP Apollo Kantinti conceded deafeat by saying;
“The people of Kyadondo deserve consistent representation in the parliament and they voted. I do not believe in using court to counter what the results have shown. I want to congratulate Robert Kyagulanyi on his win in Kyadondo East constituency and I wish him well.”

![[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.
