News reaching our desk indicates that Ugandan media personalities are set to meet Gen Salim Sale in Gulu day soon. The purpose of this meeting is not yet known but it has been confirmed that he has called upon the media.
Though the day is not clear yet, the word in several corridors is that he wants to support the media business. Some of the media personalities are already getting ready to go to Gulu as soon as it is confirmed when.
However, radio presenter and TV personality Kasuku says if Gen Saleh wants to meet media personnel, he should define the cause.
Not only that but also go through the right means that is through their organizations to reach them. Otherwise, as of now, it’s as though it’s in rumours yet it’s actually very true.
His query is that the right means should be used to meet the people.
It should be noted that Gen Sale just recently met musicians. Unlike what the whole nation knew, they had not gone to get any money.
However, lists of musicians were seen on social media with designated amounts of money for each person. After the meeting though, all they showed were certificates of attendance. Though on the point of money, no one was willing to say a thing.
Now that media is on the spot and yet it gives the spotlight, they have to be careful not to be misinterpreted.
However, if this is for a good cause then why not, Gen Saleh is the leader of Operation Wealth Creation. It would be great if he wants to help media personalities grow financially.

![[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.
