Speaking during the Uganda Marty’s celebrations, Tayebwa said in no way will Parliament weaken family institutions.
“I would like to pledge to you that under our leadership, Parliament will protect the sanctity of the Lord. The strong beliefs we have as Christians and a believing country. We shall ensure that the institution of a family is protected. This is because we believe that is a strong foundation for a country like Uganda,” Tayebwa said.
“So, Parliament will not be used to do that and we shall ensure that we indeed protect that institution,” he added.
He also informed the public that current Parliament leadership will ensure that they strengthen the relationship between the church and them.
“I am personally here to recommend to the 11th Parliament of Uganda that we shall build on the strong relationship that our predecessors set or laid foundation. Under the leadership of Rt Hon Anita Among and I, we shall ensure that we strengthen thatrelationship.”
Tayebwa encouraged everyone to support the church financially too so that they fulfil every project on paper. Tayebwa also contributed Shs 50m towards supporting the clearing of the Church House loan.
He assured Archbishop Dr Stephen Kazimba Mugalu that Parliament will continue working with the religious institutions in this regard.

![[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.
