He said this while at the end-of-year party he organized to appreciate the work of journalists.
“You find someone fabricating news about the kingdom, be factual. How can we bring back Buganda on top [if you publish fake news]? Learn to carry this noble duty with professionalism. The country will trust you. Ugandans will love news,” he said.
Mayiga noted that the media is very important especially in spreading information. He, therefore, asked the government to involve media in all things.
“Be it Parliament of Uganda, courts of law, none of them can fully fulfill their responsibilities without the media. Ugandans cannot know the responsibilities and the performance of these agencies unless the media is involved. So the media is very important in the growth of the nation,” he said.
On top of this, Prince David Wasajja too asked the media to follow the norms of the kingdom.
“Before the Katikkiro took office, the issues regarding dissemination of news from the kingdom to the people were a very big challenge. It was sporadic. It depended on the collaboration between the officials and the media.”

![[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.
