He made these comments while appearing on the NBS TV show “Barometer.”
Nsereko attributed this to the replacement of the prime Minister who was a doctor Hon Ruhakana Rugunda for someone who is not Rt Hon Robinah Nabbanja.
“France voted for Macro and Uganda voted Museveni. Our Deputy CEO is Nabbanja.
You remove a doctor as Prime Minister as you replace him with Nabbanja in a pandemic. I don’t blame Nabbanja.” Hon Muhammad Nsereko said.
Nsereko further added that it was high time people in rural areas also felt the pressure of these financial times.
This is because it’s mostly rural areas that voted the government back to power. Nsereko feels it’s time they reaped what they sowed.
The MP also said that the country is in shambles due to the dysfunctional state of the different organs.
Nsereko attributes this to the fact that there is a ministry of children but children are all over different city centres.
He added that even at times the presidential convoy bypasses them, they still do nothing.
The legislator also went ahead to take swipe at the proposed COVID-19 relief funds.
Government was supposed to start rolling out the funds to the vulnerable poor on Monday. However, they came out to say that statistical data is still holding them back.
Nsereko said that the government is collecting the data of the vulnerable on the Abacus system yet the world moved on already to Excel.
Mukono municipality MP Betty Nambooze was also in the studios too. She further echoed Nsereko’s sentiments.
She said that it was wrong for the government to exclude politicians especially MPs from this exercise.
This is because they have the structures and data right from the elections.

![[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.
