The president called upon the people of Nakasongola who include; the Baruli and migrants from other parts of the country, to live in harmony and stop fighting and killing each other over land
Love God with all your heart and might then you will know that every human being is created in God’s image. You have no right to hate any human being. You cannot say you love your culture and hate the other.
We supported the revival of the Buganda Kingdom when the Obote government banished it. According to him the Baganda were so proud and needed to be destroyed,
But we said no, let them operate as long as they are within the constitution, the same should be for Baruli and any other cultures,’he said
Let every one of us enjoy their cultures because that is the beauty, that is what defines African heritage.
I am happy when I travel in this country and hear people speak their different languages. I want to go to Acholi and say Itye, go to Mbale and say Mulembe, cross to Busoga and say Kodheyo, run to Kasese and say Mwasibire,’he added.
President Museveni therefore, appealed to all cultural leaders in the country to work together without creating divisions and tensions amongst our people. Uganda is struggling with bigger problems already; we do not want to deal with the arrogance of cultural groups.

![[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.
