Through his Twitter page, Kabanda questioned why the platform is continuously reducing his Twitter followers by 200 people daily.
“Please @Twitter, instead of reducing my followers by 200 daily, how about you take all of them once and for good,” he said.
However, some of his remaining followers told him the real reason why he was being unfollowed. They said it’s because of his recent political behavior which adds ‘no value to the country.’
Kabanda is one of those at the forefront of pushing the Muhoozi project. He even suggested the formation of a new party, the National Progressive Alliance (NPA).
He revealed that this should be led by Muhoozi and its major purpose should be harmonizing disgruntled politicians from different political parties for a common goal.
This is however something that has met widespread pessimism. And more especially from the Opposition and some of the NRM old guard.
“It’s not @Twitter that’s doing so. Ugandans have decided to UNFOLLOW people who do not add value to this country. My 13 friends and I are doing the same ASAP,” one of his followers told him.
“Hopefully you understand the Twitter platform is not the Parliament of Uganda. The same Twitter that verified you could eventually unverify you. Be mindful of your choice of words. Losing such a number of followers implies that you are losing popularity amongst your followers,” another said.
A furious Kabanda however questioned those still around criticizing him why they were still around.
“To all those shouting that people are willingly unfollowing me, why are you still following me in the first place?” He wondered.
The majority of Ugandans on social media are youths and many are dissatisfied with the current government. Therefore their only weapon has been punishing regime apologists via social media or social gatherings.

![[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.
