On Tuesday, during the plenary session, Ssemujju said he is concerned about the President because he didn’t see him take a bus to the Queen’s funeral.
“I saw African presidents on a bus attending the Queen’s funeral, President Museveni was missing. He also missed his daughter’s giveaway. I want to know if he’s okay, given his advanced age. You know you people removed the age limit so we have to keep checking on him,” Ssemujju said.
Tayebwa responded saying he is going to make an appointment for Ssemujju with the president because he is missing him probably.
“For the first time, since I’ve known Hon Ssemujju, he is missing President Museveni. I think honourable colleagues, what I’m going to do, is make an appointment for Hon Ssemujju Nganda with the President,” Deputy Speaker Thomas Tayebwa.
However, members of the public were disappointed that this can even be a point of discussion on the Parliament floor.
“Comedy on the floor, week in and week out! Last week it was nyege nudge, today whereabouts of someone. Heh @Parliament_Ug shame on you as an institution. Did you know that 19,700 people die daily in the kja region and 4 die in 4 seconds each? Make parliament great plz,” a one Erimia Milton said.

![[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.
