According to him, in such times of economic crisis, private media needs to make their money but this can’t be done when the president is consistently having his addresses on a weekly basis.
“Everything the president said in nearly 3 hours would have been summarized in 15 minutes. This business of disrupting business, especially for all private media, is unfair at a time when they are all struggling with high operating costs. It’s also not necessary to address us weekly,” Sudhir Byaruhanga said
The President in his speech yesterday said a number of things, including about fuel. He urged people to economize.
“If we wanted, we could talk to Russia and ask them to sell us subsidized fuel. For now, I don’t think that is necessary. For now let us economize the fuel as we get other solutions.”
The president in his whole speech summarized, is advocating for electric cars in the country. He spent over 3 hours on TV which has been one of the longest so far.
This perhaps wouldn’t have been an issue, but the lack of a more viable solution currently is what is nagging the public.
Meanwhile In seperate news, president Museveni told the people of Soroti that politics is specifically about a party that can ably solve the problems of the people.
He said this while he was campaigning for his party candidate, Hon. Herbert Edmund Ariko, in the Soroti City East by-election.

![[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.
