In an interview with one of the media he said, the meeting between the two was just a routine engagement. This is because most of the people linked it to NRM regaining support in Buganda.
“I think this was part of the routine engagement. Whenever there are issues either at personal level or in the kingdom, it just becomes imperative for the leadership of either the country or the kingdom that they meet and find out the feeling on either side. Because it is possible to react on the situation where you don’t have correct information.”
Apparently, the meeting had nothing to do with winning back the hearts of Baganda. In the recently concluded elections, voters showed NRM candidates the exit door with the fewest of votes ever.
NRM has since gone back to the drawing board. People probably think the president meeting the Kabaka is one of the strategies.
Meanwhile, he threw more light on disciplinary actions against members who came as independents. According to him, the party is still at persuasion stage with these members.
“According to the wise counsel of the party chairman, we usually begin from persuasion. Even when the disciplinary action is an alternative, it is usually the very last alternative and where members are persuaded and they see light, then there is no reason to resort to measures of disciplinary action,” Lumala Dombo said.

![[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.
