In this article, we will delve deeper into the issue, exploring the consequences of this infighting and the urgent need for resolution.
It is no secret that a harmonious and united leadership plays a pivotal role in fostering a conducive environment for tourism to thrive. However, the unfortunate reality is that Busoga has been engulfed in a wave of internal disputes, hindering the region’s progress in the tourism sector.
Stakeholders, who have been closely monitoring the situation, express their deep concern over the detrimental effects these conflicts have had on an industry that holds immense potential for economic growth and cultural preservation.
One of the most significant repercussions of the ongoing infighting is the decline in tourist arrivals within the Busoga region. Visitors from both domestic and international markets are being deterred by the negative image projected by the region’s divided leadership.
Tourists seek destinations where they can feel safe, welcomed, and assured of a seamless experience.
Unfortunately, the rifts among Busoga leaders have created an atmosphere of uncertainty and instability, discouraging potential visitors from exploring the rich cultural heritage and natural wonders this region has to offer.
Another key concern raised by stakeholders is the impact on investments in the tourism sector. With the internal conflicts casting doubt on the region’s leadership and stability, potential investors are hesitant to commit their resources to projects in Busoga.
This hesitancy leads to missed opportunities for job creation, infrastructure development, and overall economic growth. The tourism sector, which has the potential to be a catalyst for progress, finds itself stifled by the lack of cohesive leadership.
Moreover, the infighting among Busoga leaders has resulted in a lack of strategic planning and coordination for tourism development.
Effective collaboration and unified decision-making are crucial for the successful implementation of initiatives that can boost visitor numbers and enhance the overall tourist experience.
Regrettably, the current state of internal conflicts has hampered any meaningful progress in this regard, leaving the region lagging behind other destinations that have prioritized a united approach to tourism development.
It is evident that the infighting among Busoga leaders has dealt a significant blow to the region’s tourism sector. To reverse this decline and unlock its true potential, it is imperative for the leadership to prioritize unity, collaboration, and a shared vision for the future.
Only through a concerted effort to resolve internal conflicts and foster a stable environment can Busoga reclaim its position as a vibrant and thriving tourist destination.
Stakeholders, alongside concerned citizens, must join forces to advocate for change and propel the region towards a brighter and more prosperous future.

![[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.
