Bobi Wine assured his supporters in Namutumba and surrounding areas that he is a double edged sword after he came dressed in a whole new way. After all the alleged attempts on his life he decided to wear bullet proof vest and helmet to his campaign grounds.
Robert Kyagulanyi flamboyantly said its now time for Bobi Wine to come in to action because people have had enough of Kyagulanyi.
Kyagulanyi alleged that the current government is in panic because he is the strongest opponent they have ever faced in 30 years.
‘…Museveni has never faced an opponent like myself. So many people look like me and they all have a background like mine. That is why they call us thugs…’Kyagulanyi told his supporters.
How true this is, we can’t tell because before him, there has been a known appointment, Kizza Besigye who was equally strong or more. He participated in about four elections in the bid of being president of Uganda.
All those times, he exhibited popularity among the young and old. Meanwhile Bobi Wine has also had his share of popularity however the ballot paper will show how true this is.
Obviously, Bobi’s campaigns are always incomplete without tear gas and police chasing people around.
Its like a new normal for him and he has no choice but to live like that. There was a shed of tear gas in the areas of Budaka as police tried to disperse people who were not following the health guidelines of social distance.

![[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.
