President Museveni has revealed that he apparently tested negative for Covid-19 after 11 days. He confirmed the news through his social media platforms last evening. The president was confirmed to have tested positive for COVID-19 almost two weeks ago.
However, none of those close to him, not even his wife Janet Kataha Museveni was positive.
During his sickness and self-isolation, he updated Ugandans about his health through social media every day. There are two days he didn’t give an update and rumor started circulating on social media that he is dead and others were saying he is in ICU.
The President later came out and trashed the rumors through twitter. He said he has been told that there are some people especially Kenyans spreading fake rumors about him being in ICU.
With all the prayers his supporters have been praying for him, President Museveni has finally confirmed that he is no longer having the virus in his body.
He thanked God for enabling him to heal properly and so quickly. President Museveni said he had made progress by Wednesday last week although he was still testing positive for COVID-19.
“On the war with corona, it is now confirmed that I am a veteran graduate of the war with that enemy. Today, the samples showed that I had turned negative vis a vis corona. Even the samples of last Wednesday had showed the reduced presence of the virus parts. The Glory goes to God,” he tweeted.

![[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.
