Lukwago says he is still very inspired by the way Ssemwogerere always opted for peaceful means to fight for freedom. This is unlike so many others who according to him the gun can answer to everything.
“Dr. Paul Ssemwogerere should be on the list of heroes. The genuine heroes of this country. He is one person we should be celebrating every 9th of June. Unfortunately, we have Bush War heroes and NRM apologists; those are the ones recognized.”
“One thing that stands out in the career of Dr. Paul Kawanga Ssemogerere, is the way he pursued a non-violent struggle for the restoration of political sanity in this country,” he added.
This has come at a time when the Prime Minister, Robinah Nabbanja, had said Ssemwogerere will surely be recognized as a hero next year. The veteran politician died on the 18th November. He was buried yesterday in the presence of all kinds of dignitaries.
Political activists continuously said they have a lot to learn from the late especially his peaceful nature. In fact even the members of public urged politicians to pick a leaf from Ssemwogere.
According to them, politicians lately use more violence than reasoning which was the strength of Paul Ssemwogerere.

![[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.
