This accident happened in Nebbi, after a car that was carrying Amuriat’s public address overturned in the afternoon hours of the day. Aside from the two deaths, 15 people went away with injuries.
Amuriat however was not injured at all but the party says he is in shock. Due to this and also allow the party to mourn the deceased, he has posed his campaigns. This is very humanly but politically it is going to cost the party.
This is the second time Patrick Amuriat is suspending his elections. The first time was when Robert Kyagulanyi was arrested and as a way of showing solidarity, he put his campaigns on a stand still.
By the time, this accident happened, Patrick Amuriat was holding his campaigns in the west Nile to secure votes come 2021. The place where the accident happened is a known black spot and accidents normally happen there.
Frank Muzoora, the district police commander Pakwach noted that UNRA has been trying to work on the corner to reduce accidents that happen in that place but still no success.
Elections are almost here and come January 14th we shall be having the conversation on the ballot paper.
We can’t say that the FDC presidential candidate‘s decision to suspend his campaigns is a good or bad idea because his reason is valid. However we know that it is going to cost him whether he likes it or not.

![[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.
