President Museveni has revealed that he is tired of Europeans telling him how to organise elections. He said he is an expert, they should be the ones to contact him for help on how to organise their elections.
The President has been so vocal about what Europeans have to say about his government and Uganda at large.
He is even among the first presidents in Africa to sign the anti homosexuality bill despite being threatened to be cut off the aid given to Uganda.
In 2021 when Bobi Wine lost the presidential elections to him, he started going to the media outside Uganda saying elections were rigged.
He even talked about the violence and death of innocent Ugandans during the campaign period. Some European countries were not happy with President Museveni and his government saying the way Ugandan elections are organised is not right.
According to President Museveni, he feels very sorry for those Europeans who think he organises elections poorly.
He also said they shouldn’t be coming to him to tell him how to organise elections. They should in fact come to him to ask for advise on how to organise them.
“These Europeans, I feel sorry for them.. They come to tell me how to organise elections yet I am an expert on elections. They can call me to help them,” he said.

![[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.
