Hilderman made this request while appearing on NBS TV’s Morning Breeze program. The singer-turned-politician made the comments in regards to the controversial coffee agreement that Kasaija signed on behalf of the Ugandan government with the Vinci company.
Hon Kiyaga said that coffee is a part of the Ugandan people. Therefore, this deal was a way of depriving Ugandans what is rightfully theirs. He further accused the government of failing to support indigenous people with great innovative ideas.
According to the NUP MP, when an official messes up on behalf of the country, they ought to resign and Kasaija should do this. The singer says that it is one way of putting the country back to order.
“Coffee is part of us, and I saw this Coffee deal as a way of taking away what belongs to the people. Government never supports people who have ideas that can add value, and this is not only in the coffee sector.
If you mess up on behalf of our country, you must resign. For that matter, Hon. Kasaija should have resigned. This is a signal that a lot has been going on that needs to be checked to put this country in order,” he said.
Further the MP said that the impunity exhibited in the country is the cause of all problems in the country. The NRM government therefore has to know that the country belongs to Ugandans.
Whatever they do affects the entire country. They should therefore go back to the drawing board and correct their wrongs.

![[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.
