“I thank the president for giving me this opportunity at this age to be able to continue serving my country and I thank him very much. I am ready to work and I have come to serve my country with the guidance of God because this was a call from God,” she said
“FDC members are still my people and I know they also love me because of the contribution I have made for the party. One or two people might say that they have dismissed me but that is dismissing the body but the heart will remain there.” Ssebugwawo said.
She says, the narrative should not be political but rather how she is going to improve work in her ministry. She notes that she is going to work for people without any kind of discrimination.
“I am going to work for the people of Uganda without any discrimination. I have never been discriminatory and I love all the people of Uganda because all of them want peace. They want development and economic prosperity so for that matter, I have come to serve the people of Uganda with new ideas. I am going to be so innovative. I want to bring new things on board.”

![[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.
