The Kabaka of Buganda Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II arrived back in Uganda last night from Namibia where he had gone for treatment. Photos shared on social media show the Kabaka being welcomed at Entebbe International Airport by the Katikkiro Charles Peter Mayiga, the Nabagerekka Sylvia Nagginda,
“Ssabasajja Kabaka has arrived back in the country from Namibia where he has spent some time relaxing and visiting doctors concerning his health. The Kabaka was welcomed by the Katikkkiro Charles Peter Mayiga, Nnaabagereka Sylvia Nagginda, Nnaalinnya Lubuga Agnes Nabaloga, Abaana b’Engoma okuli, Omulangira Crispin Jjunju Kiweewa, ne Nnaalinnya Victoria Nkinzi,” a tweet from the Kingdom’s official X page read.
It should be noted that the Kabaka’s stay in Namibia generated a lot of controversy back in the country. This is especially amongst his subjects.
News circulated that he was in the South African country visiting a psychiatric center. This also raised quite a number of eyebrows about what his health condition was.
Some of his subjects started rising up demanding answers about what was happening to their Kabaka. They accused the Katikkiro of colluding with the Kingdom’s enemies to kidnap the Kabaka.
Furthermore, some of these started attacking the different Namibian embassies across the globe. They were demanding the country to ‘release their King from captivity.’
Apparently, his stay in the country was supposed to be extended. However, Namibia released a statement saying that Kabaka’s visa wouldn’t be renewed.

![[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.
