Zaake was sent parking because of apparently using vulgar language against the Deputy Speaker. However, sources say it is the Deputy Speaker that provoked Zaake which forced him to retaliate in defense.
Meanwhile, the ease with which this was carried out was amazing. MPs dragged their feet when it came to Jim Muhwezi and yet his case was even more alarming.
Many accused Jim Muhwezi of staying quiet when torture was going on in the country and yet he is in position to do something. Being the Minister of Security, parliamentarians thought he should have stopped the torture against opposition members in jail.
Unlike Zaake, nothing has happened to Jim Muhwezi.
Was it that the legislators didn’t find the need to censor him? Was it negligible? One could guess a lot of things but we definitely can’t deny the fact that some people simply shied away from this motion for their own reasons.
On top of removing Zaake as Parliament commissioner, they also commanded him to apologize to the Deputy Speaker in a period of one week.
Whether he will do it or not, w are not sure. The MP has not yet reacted regarding what happened to him but he definitely will. This censorship happened on Thursday evening.
Ssegirinya and Ssewanyana

![[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.
