Social media users have been reaching to the news conveyed to the public yesterday about the new queen (Inhebantu) of Busoga Kingdom. Some have been wondering whether she’s a musoga or Munyarwanda by tribe.
Word from the Kingdom yesterday revealed that the Kyabazinga (Isebantu) William Gabula Nadiope IV would be getting married to a one Jovia Mutesi. This announcement saw some tribal sentiments aroused in some sections of the public.
Some wondered why the Kyabazinga was going to marry a Munyarwanda despite all the beautiful ladies in the kingdom. They concluded that she was one due to her name which is largely from Rwanda.
“The Kyabazinga really left all the Basoga women and went married from another tribe.. sorry country.”
However, digging into her life, it was found that she’s a Musoga by tribe. Now referred to as the Royal Highness, she’s the daughter of Stanley Bayoole, the RDC of Bulambuli district. Bayoole also served as a mayor of Mayuge Town some time back.
The Katikiro of Busoga Kingdom Dr. Joseph Muvawala said that the Kyabazinga and Inhebantu will be wed at Christ Cathedral Bugembe in Jinja City.
A traditional ceremony was held at the home of the Inhebantu in Mayuge Town council. Another ceremony will be held soon to initiate Ms Jovia Mutesi into her new position.
The marriage ceremony will be held on the 18th of November 2023. The Katikiro added that this has been the missing puzzle in the Kyabazinga’s life.

![[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.
