The US Ambassador to Uganda, Natalie Brown, who held a meeting with the President at State House on Tuesday, delivered the special message.
I had a meeting with the US Ambassador to Uganda, H.E Natalie Brown, accompanied by Amb. Adonia Ayebare. We discussed issues of mutual interest.

‘’I had a meeting with the US Ambassador to Uganda, H.E Natalie Brown, accompanied by Amb. Adonia Ayebare. We discussed issues of mutual interest. She also delivered to me a message from H.E Joe Biden, the president of the United States of America,’’ Museveni Tweeted.
The two, during their meeting, discussed regional and international issues, according to the Senior Presidential Press Secretary.
This development comes barely a week after Museveni confronted the Western countries for always interfering in Africa’s business.
Museveni revealed that together with South Africa’s Jacob Zuma, he wanted to counter the west for invading Libya in 2011. The duo, however, faced disappointment from Gaddafi who abandoned Tripoli without a fight.
Museveni does not need lectures about democracy
Museveni also insisted that the West is on several occasions looking for aggression against other weaker countries. He, however, noted that this has never been the goal for Africa to want to fight with anybody except fighting to eradicate poverty and under-development.
And according to him, Museveni needs no lectures about democracy from the West.
‘’I doubt there are many comparable pro-democratic structures in the world. It is therefore quite comic and laughable to hear some actors in the world giving us lectures about democracy. You give me lectures about democracy, what are your credentials!’’ Museveni wondered.
It is, however, not clear exactly what the message from the U.S. said as its contents were not revealed.

![[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.
