Musician Priscilla Zawedde also known as Azawi has taken to social media platform X to express her dissatisfaction with President Museveni. She told the President that she hopes it won’t be too late before he decides to listen to the problems of the youth.
This comes after the President took to different media platforms to warn all the youths out there planning to walk to Parliament on the 23rd tomorrow to protest the massive corruption in the country. Museveni warned the youth that they are playing with fire.
He advised them to join Col Edith Nakalema who was once the head of the Statehouse Anti-Corruption Unit if they want to fight corruption.
According to the President, there is no viable reason for sending these youths into protests. Apparently, these protests will hurt other people’s businesses and lives.
Since then all security agencies in different parts of the country have been put on high alert. They were advised to be ready to avert any disruptive situation using all means available.
However, musician Azawi said that the President has adamantly refused to work on the problems affecting the majority of the population.
“You’ve arrogantly refused to work on the issues affecting almost 78% of this population. You’re even willing to hurt any “Nakasatwe” that expresses their dissatisfaction with tear gas and canes. I hope it won’t be too late when you eventually decide to listen to us!!”

![[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.
