Muhoozi a few days ago left for Rwanda to resolve some of the outstanding issues that might still remain between the two countries.
The two dignitaries met and discussed a wide range of issues. This saw Muhoozi visit Kagame at his farm where they gifted him with cows.
“Earlier today President Kagame received General Muhoozi Kainerugaba at his farm where he gifted him with Inyambo cows, “ the office of the Rwandese presidency intimated.
Muhoozi also took time to visit the Rwanda sports arena where he was seen engaging with the basketball players.
The Ugandan first son has been at the forefront of restoring the relationship between the countries which had been broken.
Rwanda had closed the Gatuna border for about three years until recently. A few weeks ago he also announced that the two countries were going to start allowing movement of people. They were only allowing cargo trucks in the first place.
Muhoozi’s visit to Rwanda will last 3 days. They will apparently discuss a number of resolutions and agree upon during his stay in Kigali.
Many have however seen these moves by the Commander of the Land Forces’ as more political than those of a serving army officer.
His opponents especially those who believe they are grooming him under the Muhoozi project think he is trying to grow his political capital.
Many believe that the roles he’s currently playing are not in his jurisdiction. This, therefore, means his father Museveni is indirectly grooming him for the big chair.

![[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.
