NRM has released names on the appointments committee just before Museveni names his cabinet. This committee is the one meant to approve the cabinet members the president will forward. It works under the leadership of the speaker who is now Rt. Hon. Speaker Jacob Oulanyah.
Some of the names on the list are; Frank Tumwebaze this means he will not come back as a minister.
This list of committee members was forwarded to the speaker for approval. This was done by NRM secretary General, Justine Lumumba.
“I write in compliance with the rules of Parliament to forward to your office the names of 22 nominees of the National Resistance Movement to the Appointments Committee of Parliament,” the letter read in part.
This committee is comprised of not less than 15 members and not more than 20. This is the team that approves names forwarded by the president on behalf of the parliament. However, this list is received by the speaker on behalf of the committee. Any time now, we are about to know the different ministers of different sectors of the country.
This is a highly awaited for communication by the president. It is different now because things are not as obvious as previously. Most ministers lost in the previous elections. Some experts have already warned the president against bringing them back.
Most likely we are going to have the cabinet mostly filled with new members.

![[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.
