Bobi Wine who has been traversing the country last week announced that they had halted this tour. This was due to the fact that he had received ‘credible’ reports that his life was in danger.
Munyagwa apparently, doesn’t see why Bobi Wine had to call off this exercise since he’s the commander. He just had to keep going and not be a coward.
Furthermore, the FDC cadre seemed to suggest that Bobi Wine’s rallies might be meaningless. This is because President Museveni would never let anyone go ahead with such if they were beneficial.
“If you are Kyagulanyi and you claim to have withdrawn from touring the nation because you suspect they are planning to harm you, you are the commander. Why are you running away when you are supposed to be the leader? Museveni will never let you continue with a gathering that will benefit you. If it’s benefiting you, he won’t let it happen.”
Kyagulanyi meanwhile announced that this countrywide tour will resume today in Mayuge district.
So far as has been the norm, his movements haven’t been disorganized by security forces. This meanwhile has generated lots of talk and the NRM faithful feel like it’s a score for them due to the lack of controversies in these processions.
Despite Kyagulanyi revealing that he had credible information that he was being targeted, he didn’t divulge who was targeting him.
This has brewed some social media chatter that he’s just saying this to catch attention since security hasn’t tried to plunder his rallies.

![[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.
