According to the source who chose to remain incognito, Kadaga and Oulanyah were both not willing to give way. Apparently, Oulanyah had been promised that after 10 years of Kadaga serving, he will be next. This however doesn’t seem so because Kadaga is still in the race and not willing to let go. The source also says Kadaga told CEC not to make decisions based on a non-existent agreement.
“Kadaga stuck to her guns and argued that no decision should be made based on a non-existent agreement.”
President Museveni who doubles as chairperson of NRM called off the meeting. The fact that Kadaga and Oulanyah just failed to agree couldn’t let the meeting go on.
Therefore, CEC decided that all those interested should apply and go through the vetting procedure. After vetting, the NRM party caucus will take a decision ahead of speakership elections set for May 24th 2021.
Meanwhile it is not just the NRM in this race, other parties like the FDC also sent in Semujju Nganda. This race may be different from all the previous races in the previous years.

![[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.
