President Yoweri Museveni while hosting a delegation of military students from Botswana, has revealed that Uganda is now stable because of the ideological and philosophical shift in the country.
The President made the assertion as he delivered a lecture of opportunity to a delegation from Botswana. This included 31 military students and 15 staff members of Botswana Defence Command and Staff College at State House- Entebbe.
He said that before the NRM government came to power 37 years ago, Uganda was turbulent. It had become a failed state.
However, due to the right ideology by the current government, the country managed to pick up and it’s now peaceful and developing progressively.
President Museveni also appealed to the students to always promote politics of interest. He said that the ideology was very crucial for the prosperity of their country.
“Right from Independence, we had a crisis of what is primary? What is important? Is it identity or interest? That’s where the departure point was because some people have been saying that what is important in public management politics is identity. That means tribe, religion, race in some cases, even gender to some extent. And you find people like in the case of Uganda here, they formed political parties based on identity,” Gen. Museveni disclosed.
The head of the Delegation from Botswana Defence Command and Staff College, Col. Dumisani Bakang Ndzinge thanked President Museveni for sparing time to give them an insightful lecture.
He also commended the President for his visionary leadership. Apparently, this has led to long-lasting stability and economic development in the country.
The team was also accompanied by Professor Rebecca Lekoko, the Dean of the College, among others.

![[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.
