He says that he had watched videos of torture and they got concerned and started doing something about it.
“As government, even though some of the Ugandans in UAE never went through authorized means, we saw the videos and got concerned, and we started repatriating them.”
Kyeyune said the government is in fact being very understanding. This is given the fact that most of the Ugandans who go to UAE use illegal companies.
“It’s not a good thing that our children are stranded in UAE, but all those Ugandans in UAE were not taken by authorized companies. These Ugandans are sneaked out of the country when they know they are being sneaked out.”
In fact, Minister Peace Mutuuzo said there are no people NUP has repatriated from UAE because government had already cleared their travel documents.
“The plans to repatriate Ugandans from UAE is a government program. The opposition stole the show, but the government has been in talks with UAE to repatriate Ugandans.”
However, some members of the public say government is only trying to trash NUP’s efforts. However, the truth is they had relaxed from helping stranded Ugandans.
“You took long and opposition acted in real time. Therefore stole the show and now credit goes to them. Meanwhile who registers those Co’s that fleece those unsuspecting Ugandans?” A one Hans commented.

![[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.
