This was after some of the party supporters protested outside a Seattle hospital where Hon Jacob Oulanyah is currently undergoing treatment.
Mao said that this was hypocritical of the party and its leaders to attack a dying man. He added that a ceasefire was needed and besides Oulanyah was not the right man to attack.
It was rather his boss, Museveni they should have attacked because he sanctioned the trip.
Mao further said that all MPs are entitled to treatment at the expense of the public. He went ahead to cite the examples of Hon Kyagulanyi, Betty Nambooze and Francis Zaake. All these NUP MPs at one time received treatment abroad.
While appearing on NBS’s Frontline, Minister Chris Baryomunsi referred to NUP as a group of confused fellows. This did not please NUP’s deputy spokesperson, Alex Mufumbiro who referred to this as blackmail.
“I have heard blackmail on this show. Minister Chris Baryomunsi has referred to us as confused, but he is the highest level of confused monger,” Mufumbiro said.
It was a moment to seize for Mao as he clapped back at NUP and its panelist. The former Gulu City MP said that he was glad NUP now knows how it pains to be blackmailed.
“I am glad Waiswa Mufumbiro now knows what it feels like to be blackmailed,” Mao shor back.
For so long, Mao has been branded an NRM mole in the Opposition. This is a notion that apparently NUP fuelled.
Mao however said that he’s glad the only things he gets accused of are the handshakes and photo-moments with the NRM. He’s not like NUP that actually preaches drinking water and behind curtains drinks wine.

![[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.
