Betty Nambooze, Woman MP of Mukono Municipality has accused journalists of unprofessionalism in their delivery. Nambooze said this regarding the way some journalists were reporting about the explosions that happened today.
According to her, most of the journalists clearly didn’t know how to report without implicating anyone.
She said it is so unprofessional for journalists to report about security deployment and in places where they have been deployed.
She expressed her disappointment in those who even go ahead to show faces of investigators who are supposed to remain incognito due to the nature of their work. Betty Nambooze says probably journalists now days don’t know what to do.
She is not the only one who complained about the unprofessionalism of journalists. There are so many prominent people who expressed their disappointment in journalists who seem to be veterans but their work is the opposite.
“Lots of irresponsible reporting even from experienced journalists. Not good. Not now,” Allan Kasujja wrote.
“This is what we know…”
“It’s not yet clear…”
“We have not independently verified…”
A polite reminder for #JournalismUG” Peter .G. Mwesigye advised.
Some people went ahead to advise journalists to go for refreshers courses in journalism.
Meanwhile, some put this bad reporting on the need for journalists to be the first to break news. Apparently, every journalist am media house wants to be the first to break a story without caring about getting the facts right.

![[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.
