Is it that they doubt his capability, or they are not sure about his qualities as a leader.
At the beginning of Kyagulanyi’s course, very many musicians had showed interest in supporting him to the extent of releasing a song entitled ‘enguule’. Some even crossed from the National Resistance Army Camp like Jose Chameleon, Full Figure among others. In just a blink of an eye, Full Figure had gone back to the NRM camp.
What could the problem be? Recently, Ronald Mayinja a renown supporter of National Unity Platform also crossed to NRM. His excuse was that after releasing the NRM song, the NUP supporters offended him verbally so he decided to wholly support NRM. This obviously can’t be good for him because support from his field mates would add a lot to him.
Unfortunately, this doesn’t seem to affect the thick-skinned presidential aspirant because he has gone ahead with his campaigns. This has however showed the disunity among the musicians now more than ever.
It seems for most of them, money received from other parties is greater than supporting a brother who could change their industry.
Musicians have always ranted about being left behind by the government. Now that there is a chance to put someone who is in the same business with them, how come they are so reluctant?

![[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.
