During his appearance on his social media account, the motivational Facebook blogger Raymond Soulfa popularly known as Peng Peng felt very sorry for Hon Francis Zaake who is currently under medical attention at Rubaga Hospital.
Due to Zaake’s situation which shocked fellow MPs and other politicians in the country, Peng Peng who also felt so touched and almost teared up threatened to abuse and expose all persons behind his torture. In his words, he wondered why a member of Parliament is treated badly to that extent.
“Just watched a video of honorable Zaake crying n I wondered if a member of parliament is treated like that how about an ordinary citizen like you reading my post?Temundaba kuvuma basajja baano nange nakuzibwa nempiisa naye bubeela buluumi watching fellow countrymen treated like animals in their own motherland by their own people and such series are sponsored by “orders from above”
To his conclusion, Peng claimed that Uganda is for Ugandans and people should not be treated like animals.
During the previous nation addresses, president Museveni warned all politicians against calling people in the name of giving them food, by doing so people will definitely gather and get infected in a process, adding that any one arrested will be charged of attempted murder.
President Museveni advised them to deliver whatever donation they may have to the district covid-19 task force, which was tasked by government to deliver food items to vulnerable people door to door.
Recently when i was heading to Jinja, many people wanted me to stop and great them but i declined because i knew if i did, people would easily gather, something which was very dangerous and against the measures,’said Museveni.

![[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.
