Mabirizi argues that up to now the president is using Yoweri Kaguta Museveni instead of Yoweri Tibuhaburwa Kaguta Museveni.
“By Deed poll dated 6th October 2020, YOWERI TIBUHABURWA KAGUTA MUSEVENI formally and absolutely renounced and abandoned the name YOWERI KAGUTA MUSEVENI and declared that he shall at all times from then in all records, deeds and instruments in writing and in all occasions that require the use of his full name, sign the name of YOWERI TIBUHABURWA KAGUTA MUSEVENI,” Mabirizi says.
On the 6th of October 2020, the president swore a declaration to rectify his name.
“I formally and absolutely renounce and abandon the use of names Yoweri Museveni, Yoweri Tibuhaburwa Museveni, Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. And assume and adopt in place of those names my full name Yoweri Tibuhaburwa Kaguta Museveni.”
The lawyer says it is illegal for the president to sign on any document using a name he threw out last year. He argues that the person who signed the documents is not the president of Uganda.
So Mabirizi is demanding that the court should declare all directives and appointments made by the president illegal. According to him the person “elected” and “sworn-in” are different from the one making appointments.
Mabirizi took this case to the Civil Division of the High Court in Kampala on Tuesday morning.

![[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.
