The president mentioned a number of issues that could have caused the loss in Buganda but cheating was his number one priority.
He obviously said some of the party members who failed in the elections did so because they actually failed to work on the issues of the people. He mentioned, Min Nabakooba as one of those who was cheated. According to him, she has worked so hard especially on the issues of land grabbing in Buganda. The president said it’s time to address the issue of land grabbing more in Buganda and household income.
“The main problem I have been telling you is subsistence farming. People working for the stomach only instead of working for both the stomach and the pocket,” Mr. Museveni said.
“We should not co-exist with people working for only the stomach.”
However, Hon. Ruth Nankabirwa, the parliament chief whip who also lost the elections thanked Ugandans for massively voting President Museveni regardless of the party’s loss in Buganda.
“The NRM made it with a majority member of Parliament registering over 317 already. The party performed well in all regions apart from Buganda and some parts of Busoga,” she said.
Currently, we haven’t heard from any of the NRM ministers alleging that they will go to court to challenge results.

![[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.
