According to him, it is the Members of Parliament that decided that Zaake should leave the commission.
“The mover of the motion censuring Hon. Zaake was not the Deputy Speaker. It was Hon. Mapenduzi. The role of the Speaker is just to moderate. 155 members made the decision to get Hon. Zaake out of the commission. It wasn’t the Deputy Speaker.”
He also cautioned the public to stop underestimating what the parliament is doing.
The public has been expressing a lot of disappointment in the parliament for failure to respond to high prices of commodities but quick to react to Zaake’s issue.
“It is dishonest to say there’s nothing the Parliament or Members of Parliament do. Friction ideologically is why Parliament exists. What we need to discourage is hatred and personal attacks,” Chris Obore added.
Meanwhile, at the morning breakfast show on NBS, Chris Obore also said people should stop hyping the Deputy Speaker’s visit to Oulanyah in the US. He says it’s normal to visit patients.
“The Speaker has been sick. That’s a fact. The Deputy Speaker is the one who informed the country about the Speaker’s treatment in the US. It’s been a while, and she decided to go and check on him. We shouldn’t see visiting a patient as a crisis.”

![[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.
