The National Unity Platform (NUP) councilor James Mubiru has run to PM Nabanjja for financial help expressing disappointment with Bobi Wine’s leadership.
He sent a letter to the Prime Minister’s office to intervene and help with a financial incentive to enable him to travel abroad for treatment.
“Greetings from the bottom of my heart and let me take this opportunity to thank you for the good work of serving our nation directed towards securing the future of Ugandans. I hereby request your esteemed office for financial support towards my travel abroad for further medication,” Mubiru wrote.
At the peak of the previous general campaigns in 2021, military authorities arrested and detained him.
This is was under the jurisdiction of the army court for donning a red beret. According to prosecution, this is a monopoly of the armed forces.
This therefore is an act which is contrary to section 164(i) of the UPDF Act 2005. He was later granted bail in August after 6 months.
Mubiru’s health, however, had not been the same since then. He has been in and out of hospital. He says doctors at Rubaga hospital diagnosed him with complications to his liver, advising him to seek further medical attention.
James Mubiru says he has tried reaching out to Bobi Wine plus all other leaders of NUP. However, their slow reaction has disappointed him.
He says he doesn’t have the luxury of time because the doctors say the condition may worsen to cancer if they don’t treat it so fast.
“I have tried to look for funds from my party leaders including the party president Hon Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, the leader of the opposition, Members of Parliament, Mayors, the diaspora community, etc but what I can say is that I am disappointed by their slow response yet my situation is worsening,” Mubiru says.

![[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.
