Initially, Kadaga had rioted against the top body in the NRM party. This was because of its decision to drop her as the Speaker and endorse Jacob Oulanyah.
After all that commotion, many expected Kadaga to be absent for this meeting. However, to their surprise, she made a notable appearance on the occasion.
Kadaga arrived for the CEC meeting on time and took a position directly across from President Museveni as members welcomed her. Some other members consoled her for the previous defeat.
As the CEC met to make final touches to the party’s appointment committee, there happened to be a pending issue of disciplinary action for Kadaga. Prior to the meeting, the former chief whip, Ruth Nankabirwa, reported this issue.
‘’I am requesting for an apology to the President as an individual, an apology to the CEC and one to the party,’’ Nankabirwa petitioned the CEC.
It is a common agreement within the party structures to discipline Kadaga. However, it is also clear that members do not want to dispense the former speaker from the party.
Even President Museveni himself has made it clear in meetings that the party is ready to work with Kadaga. This is especially if she agrees to follow the plan.
The president revealed to Kadaga before the CEC meeting that a position in the party still stands, but as Vice President.
As it is known that the CEC meeting intended to address other matters, it’s ending plus the pleasantries towards Kadaga could mean she is back in things.

![[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.
