Hon. Nkunyingi Muwadda has been left embarrassed after he posted a fake letter alleging that the Government had apologized to the US Ambassador to Uganda, William Popp.
It should be noted that the CDF, Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba spent last week sending threats to Mr. Popp. He even labeled him a persona non grata in Uganda.
The CDF demanded an apology from the Ambassador to Mr. Museveni for apparent disrespect. Muhoozi gave this ambassador an ultimatum of Monday which was yesterday to apologize or leave Uganda.
However, none has since happened as the ambassador is still in Uganda and neither has he apologized. Gen Muhoozi has since deleted the tweets. The US Embassy also discredited the allegations which were making rounds that the Ambassador had apologized.
Hon Nkunyingi had taken to a statement and implored the Government of Uganda to apologize to the US and its ambassador for Gen Muhoozi’s ‘poor behavior.
Consequently, the Kyadondo East MP hastily posted a statement on his X page. This showed that the President had apologized to the US.
“Finally, Gen Museveni has apologized to the US Government @usmissionuganda and to the US Ambassador to Uganda on behalf of his son. He confirmed what l stated in our opposition statement that Foreign Affairs must be the right Diplomatic Channel at all times. Especially to handle matters of Diplomacy and there must be respect to Diplomatic values. Earlier we demanded for the same in our statement on the non Diplomatic threats by Muhoozi, the Chief of Defence Forces. It’s a shame to Uganda,” he 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.
