However, Kampala MP Hon Muhammad Nsereko has come out to praise her efforts in Ugandan politics and her bold choice.
Ssebugwawo who lost her seat as mayor of Lubaga division to NUP’s Zachary Mberaze was named the state minister for ICT. This led to her party FDC denouncing her membership and branding her a traitor.
Nsereko while appearing on the morning breeze on NBS TV said that what Ssebugwawo had done in FDC is commendable.
“During this struggle, everyone has a contribution. Hon Ssebugwawo has made her contribution. She has built leaders and she’s built FDC. That’s as much as she can run in the struggle. Let’s hope that what she has gone for can helps us or herself achieve.” Nsereko said.
The legislator also aired his views on the cabinet saying that it should teach people some lessons. He said that this should show how president Museveni uses people and then drops them once they are no longer of any value to him.
“The choice of the cabinet should teach people which kind of school president Museveni is from. I believe the school of thought he comes from is “Pick and Play”. He’s the only factor that’s non-variable, for as long as he’s there, the rest are variables.” Nsereko added.
Parliament started vetting and approving ministers appointed by the President yesterday. So far the vice president and prime Minister have been okayed.

![[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.
