However, the government prioritizes non-essential matters like militarization and hefty spending on lavish parties like Muhoozi’s birthday yet Ugandans are craving drugs in hospitals.
Kyagulanyi spoke at the burial of the mother to the NUP party National treasurer and lawyer, Benjamin Katana in Bushenyi district, yesterday where he made these remarks.
“Katana comes from what one may call a middle class. Perhaps his hustles here and there enabled him to access treatment for his mother at a high-end hospital in Kampala. But how many of the people gathering here can afford treatment in an expensive hospital?,” Wine asked. “I can see some NRM leaders here at the burial. Please we all face the same problems. What affects me, affects you too. We do not speak out of hate but love for our country,” he added.
He further rallied the people of Ankole to put the country’s interests before all other things. He told them that they also face the same problems being faced by those in Buganda and other regions as well.
Bobi’s remarks corroborate with the Bushenyi district NRM chairperson who also asked government to rein into the escalating prices.
“We are noting with grave concern the issue of soaring prices. What are the Members of Parliament from my party NRM and opposition doing?” he asked. “Please if you have failed to do your role, let us know and we look for other alternatives,” added the Bushenyi NRM chairperson.
Barbie Ithungo, wife to Kyagulanyi accompanied him as well as the Leader of opposition Mathias Mpuuga Nsamba, and the party Secretary-general David Lewis Rubongoya.
Also in attendance were Joel Ssenyonyi, Zaake Francis, Medard Ssegona, Flavia Kalule, Nyanzi Fred, among others.

![[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.
