It should be recalled that Museveni celebrates his birthday every 15th of September. He was born in 1944 making him 78 years today. That’s according to the official documents although some people dispute this.
Among referred to her boss as the father of the region just the same way the newly elected president of Kenya William Ruto referred to him at his swearing-in ceremony.
Among’s wish for the President is for God to grant him many more years so that he keeps steering the country in the steady progress direction.
“Happy Birthday to the Father of the region, the leader of our revolution, and our trusted President H. E. Gen. @KagutaMuseveni! May the Lord grant you many more years to steer our steady progress,” Anita Among wrote.
Wishes are still coming in for the birthday boy and we are pretty sure he will have such a blast.
“Sevo” as he’s mainly reffered to by the youths has been at the helm of Ugandan politics since 1986. This is after he and other forces toppled Tito Okello Lutwa’s regime in the mid 80’s.
He officially came to power in 1986 and has been ruling the East African country since then. Museveni will have ruled Uganda for 40 years by the end of this current term.
The 36 years have been of mixed reactions from the public. There are those who feel his government has achieved many things. Others believe that he’s massively failed while others think that its been between achievement and failure.
However for now, let the birthday boy enjoy his day in peace undeterred.

![[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.
