This stated that the marriage certificate to the Speaker of Parliament, Hon Anita Among and FUFA president Eng Moses Magogo had been rescinded and withdrawn.
According to Rwakabale, he had issued the letter under duress. He however later discovered a number of errors and omissions in the details provided thus issuing the statement.
However according to URSB, the role of a town clerk is to register and transmit a return to the Registrar of Marriages at URSB.
Further, neither the town clerk nor the registrar of marriages have the authority to invalidate a marriage.
Therefore the letter from the town clerk cannot invalidate the marriage between Hon Magogo and Hon Anita Among. URSB further asked people to ignore the circulating misleading stories about the validity of this marriage.
Additionally, URSB in the released statement said that upon completion of the registration at the Sub County or Town Clerk’s office, the marriage return is filed with URSB to be entered on the National Marriage Register maintained by URSB.
The Bureau also said that customary marriage is one of the five types of legal marriages in Uganda. It is celebrated according to the rites of an African community.
Also, one of the parties to the marriage must be a member of that community.
Besides, none registration of a marriage does not invalidate it. However, registration of a marriage gives evidential value pertaining to that marriage.
It should be recalled that MP David Kabanda yesterday revealed that Rwakabale Geofrey is being used by his ‘concubine’ in government to fight the Speaker. And this turned out to be none other than State Minister for Housing, Persis Namuganza.
The issue is said to stem from the Naguru-Nakawa land. Apparently, Namuganza has been faulted for dubiously authorizing to be taken by individuals and other entities. Yet on the other hand Among has stood her ground to save it from these.

![[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.
