“I am leading the remainder of the party after the defection of the President. I am the caretaker of the party (Democratic Party) now. When you lose someone, you don’t follow them to the graveyard.”
“You can’t lead from another clan. I am going to organize a press conference to reprogram the media people. This is because they are the ones imposing Minister Nobert Mao on the Democratic Party,” Bayigga added.
In line with this, Bayigga says it is the right of the people to audit opposition and check what they are up to. This auditing, according to him keeps them as opposition in line because they have to produce results. However, he says the current ruling party has played a huge part in weakening opposition by giving them places of leadership in the government.
Meanwhile, up until now, it is not so clear whether Minister Nobert Mao is still the president of DP or not. Everytime he is caught speaking, he emphasises that he is still in DP but his colleagues think otherwise.

![[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.
