Nambooze blamed his handlers for wrongly advising him because they should have known that Saturday was not a good day for a speech. If indeed the intention was to address the nation, then Saturday was not the day.
“Who was President Museveni speaking to on Saturday when there was football? Didn’t his handlers advise? I won’t lie, I was also watching football. President Museveni doesn’t have good advisors because of nepotism,” she said.
Saturday had a number of matches that were so tempting to watch. The teams that were playing are much loved and have a lot of fans. Manchester United was playing against Watford, Arsenal was playing with Liverpool.
Chelsea was playing with Leicester. Hon. Nambooze has a point looking at this because most people don’t even remember what the president said.
Meanwhile, this speech was supposed to be on a Friday but due to unexplained reasons, it was moved to Saturday. The question is what do they always consider when planning for these addresses.
If their target is to talk to the public then they should seek for time when there is not much distraction. However, some people didn’t agree with Nambooze on her point.
“Am sorry to say this but madam Nambooze Betty is now into comedy…. Of all Ugandans .. how many watch football … Does that even matter??” a one Kalinda Brian said.

![[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.
