This attracted a lot of attention from people who said Katumba had actually given up on campaigns and now just enjoying the company of women.
Answering a few questions on a TV show, the presidential aspirant expressed disappointment in especially the media.
“…actually the media people, I don’t know what’s wrong with you, is it a problem with you or its a problem with other areas, cause really there are so many people that take pictures with John Katumba more so women and more so men.
Every one takes a pic with me now the question is, is the problem with you the media personnel…” he said.
In his point, its like the media has intentionally decided to misunderstand personality. Either way he is not backing down anytime soon because he is still in the presidential race.
He updated on his recent trail in Masaka and said he has finished the greater part of Masaka and will soon be concluding with it.
Mr. John Katumba is the youngest in this presidential race aged only 24 years. He trends a lot especially among the young because of his known tag line ‘Katumba Oyee.’
Most of the times he passes off as not serious because everytime there is news about him, it’s in very compromising situations.

![[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.
