Doctor Nassan Tandekwiire has been appointed as the senior presidential advisor on indigenous cattle.
“By copy of this letter, again, I designate Ambassador Dr. Rashid Semuddu as Special Envoy to Qatar and I appoint Dr. Nasaan as senior Presidential Advisor on indigenous cattle with a salary- personal to holder of Shs. 15 million,” the letter dated 31st July 2022 read in part.
This letter has caused very many people especially on social media to wonder whether it is as it is or it’s a prank. The salary of 15M according to them is over the board for what they call a simple job.
However a former NBS Journalist, Solomon Serwanjja without fear said this is not right at all.
“President @KagutaMuseveni appoints a presidential advisor on indigenous cattle with a salary of 15m. Wawooo. Just wawoooo. Your excellency, this is unacceptable.”
Some people however say the appointee is going to earn from his expertise, so what is the issue.
“So you want them to work for free or something… No offense, not like I support him but don’t you think at times you just over exaggerate things … And this person has a family to feed. So giving him a salary is only fair,” one of the tweeps said.
Meanwhile, there is also an assumption that the letter was only concerted by those who want to tarnish the name of the government and the president.
However, as of now, none of the government officials involved in this letter have said anything about it.

![[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.
