She has said the government is putting in insufficient efforts to save the people who currently live under fear. She is therefore advocating for more Ugandans to join her in this move she started.
“As a woman who hails from Masaka district, I have started organising a peaceful demonstration against the unending murders of unarmed innocent civilians in Uganda. Who will join me?” Nyanzi said.
Human rights activist and scholar, Nyanzi is popular for her aggressiveness when dealing with issues. She simply goes an extra mile when she puts her head to it.
For this, we can’t tell how far she is going to go because all the times she has protested, her destination has been prison.
For over a month now, machete wielding thugs have continued to terrorize residents of Masaka. This has gone on regardless of the heavy deployment of security in Masaka area.
Adults between the age of 50-80 have been the main victims of these machete-wilding thugs. The cause of this brutality has not yet been attached to anything whether politics or terrorism.
However, the Gen David Muhoozi, the internal Affairs Minister promised to visit Masaka this today.

![[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.
