She said this minutes after she signed the condolence book in honour of the fallen speaker.
Kadaga said Oulanyah did a lot in uniting, reconciling and recruiting the people of northern Uganda into the National Resistance Movement ( NRM).
“I want to thank him for the support and cooperation for over the ten years [Kadaga’s tenure] not only at the local level with the national assembly but also in other areas. We shall miss him. He was a great leader and he really enjoyed his work and he was very committed,” said Kadaga.
Kadaga recognized the fallen speaker as a person who represented Uganda on different international forums. Some of these include the Great Lake Region conference, The African Caribbean Pacific and European Union among others.
Kadaga was criticized by a number of people because she contended with Oulanyah for the speakership role.
Even in her tweet when the speaker had just passed on, some people lashed out at her. She had apparently written the rest in peace in her piece.
“At this trying moment, I send sincere condolences to the children, the mother, and other members of Rt Hon Oulanyah s family. As well as friends and relatives The NRM party, the Parliament, and the Country have lost a key leader Condolences to HE the President,” her tweet read.
Meanwhile, the body of the fallen speaker will reach the country on Friday.

![[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.
