The elections are due to take place on 16th December. The party led by Moses Kigongo, the first vice chairperson NRM plus Rosemary Sseninde met leaders of Ntenjeru south constituency.
The purpose of this meeting was to find means on how to get support for their candidate in the race. However, every official that stood up was blaming Nantaba for her disloyalty.
Ahead of elections, Nantaba declared support for independent candidate Majid Nyanzi for the Kayunga LCV race. Some officials even said Nantaba does nothing in Kayunga apart from dividing them.
“Cliques within our party are to blame for our loss. There is one person who has contributed to this and that in Nantaba. She does nothing in Kayunga apart from dividing us,” a one Yusuf Musoke said.
Edith Nakijoba said NRM had better do something about her before it’s late. Apparently, she is always working behind the curtains to taint the party name.
“In Kayunga we have two NRMs and one of them is headed by Nantaba. She is so powerful and many people listen to her. You(NRM top leadership) have given her so much power that she uses to destabilize the party. You are to blame for it. She is no longer a minister but she still has guards whom she uses to intimidate us. What are those guards for.”

![[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.
