She says this will probably let NRM know that they appreciate the good things they have come up with that have moved the country forward. She says the launch is not far from now.
“I am outing a book on the good things the NRM government has done. It will be launched soon. They always complain that we don’t talk about the good things they have done,” said Betty Nambooze.
She said this while on the NBS Frontline show. Meanwhile, many people say they can’t wait to read this book. Obviously, to many, this is sarcastic coming from a well-known opposition member like Nambooze.
The question is; is the book there? Some even joked that she may just release a blank book to pass on her message .
“Don’t be surprised if you find all pages apart from the cover blank-you get the message,” a one John S. Kavuma wrote.
Nambooze also commented about the fuel scarcity in the country. According to her, the ministry of disaster preparedness should do their job.
“We should have had more reservoirs by now. When these people came and found fuel reserved in Jinja, they were like, “Kyelondera taba mubbi.” We have a Ministry of Disaster Preparedness. This ministry was not told that they respond to disaster. They prepare for it.”

![[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.
