The Supreme Court gave him the green light to be sworn in as Uganda’s elected president. This came after National Unity Platform leader, Robert Kyagulanyi withdrew his petition that he had intended to challenge the election results.
Posters were pinned around the city last week reading, ‘’Museveni Tajja Kulayira’’ which translates to, ‘’Museveni will not swear in.’’ A pressure group only known as Time Is Now took responsibility for pinning up these posters. The group said they will not sit by and watch President Museveni swearing-in for another term in May.
As he addressed the nation on Sunday night, he warned anyone who thinks they can destabilize the swearing-in ceremony. He said they are just joking.
‘’The opposition had been planning to stop the swearing-in of the president; they won’t because the security forces will stop them. They won’t stop the swearing-in. Security forces will go for him or her,’’ Museveni said.
The president said the opposition plans crazy things like killing their fellow opposition and blaming it on the government.
Police arrested over 30 people last week during a joint military and police operation. Most of them were supporters of the NUP party. This came shortly after Robert Kyagulanyi had declared himself the winner of the January 2021 elections.
He encouraged his supporters to join him in peaceful protests to reclaim his 54.19% that the electoral commission stole from him. This never happened due to the security operations that happened right after the announcement.

![[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.
