“I don’t have faith in the NRM Caucus, and if you do, I think you need to see a doctor. They gather to sing praises to President Museveni. They don’t discuss anything of national interest.”
Gawaya says Ugandans have to question those in power in what is really happening in the country. This is in regard to the high prices in commodities that are even basic.
“We need to question those in power about how they are managing this. We need to investigate what is driving this inflation before making a conclusion.”
Meanwhile, according to him, it’s not as though prices have gone high, he says money has lost value in the country and that is the actual problem.
“Ugandans have a short memory. We tend to be excited about things today, and tomorrow we have forgotten about it. I don’t think the prices of commodities are going up. It’s the value of our money that is going down.”
Gawaya Tegulle also says the quickest solution to what is going on is to change the government. Furthermore,he added that strategic people need to be put in power to run the country.
“What needs to be done is the change of government. We need people who are strategic in management. My problem with this government is that for one half, they don’t give a hoot. And the other half, don’t know what to do. We need a government that is strategic in planning. Things like trucks being stuck at the border and the Russia – Ukraine war are things that could have been foreseen.”

![[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.
