NBS News Casters are in cold war with their viewers on social media. This comes after fans said their posts about opposition MPs are controversial and unrealistic.
NBS News casters including, Canary Mugume, Daniel Lutaaya, Samson Kasumba plus Sabiti Joesph are the main men in this.
Apparently, their posts were questioning why opposition MPs have allowed swearing in a government led by a president they say lost.
“So the other group doesn’t recognize the sitting government whose leader was sworn in last week. But still sends their MPs to swear in and debate policy that will be implemented by the same government?” Canary Mugume posted
Consequently, angry fans reacted by telling canary not to insult his intelligence.
“Don’t insult your intelligence @CanaryMugume, leave that to minors. They competed and won genuinely, not all is lost. Even if they get a few resources and help one single person, it’s better. Did you want to take their places?”
Fans even went ahead to accuse NBS of being very subjective in their broadcasts. This didn’t sit well with Sabiti. He reminded the viewers how police beat him while covering opposition.
“I was beaten giving a chance to the Opposition (NUP) to be heard and I will defend their legitimate right any day except I don’t ever remember crying to you! I don’t even think I know you!” Sabiti lashed out at a fan.
These petty fights from the NBS team with their viewers started during election period. Fans say they produced fake polls that have not explained to date.
On top of this today, NBS published their polls regarding speakership putting Oulanya in the lead which has caused more talk on Twitter streets.

![[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.
