He said this after a closed-door meeting with a delegation from the Alliance for National Transformation(ANT) led by Gen Mugisha Muntu. Nakibinge has said commercialization of politics has changed the face of politics.
“Whenever someone injects a lot of money in politics, the first he or she does is to first get the money back. This has completely destroyed politics in this country. We need to find out how to address this. We need capable leaders who are willing to serve the people, not those who have joined to make money,” he said.
However, Prince Kassim Nakibinge said he is impressed with Muntu because politicians normally remember them at the peak of politics.
“We were used to them during the time of elections, but these friends of ours have changed the technique. They came and visited without the pressure of politics. We managed to talk to them in a peaceful way,” he said.
Muntu also says this is a party decision they took to involve all religious and cultural leaders in politics and decision-making in the country.
“In order to address the sickness in our country, we need to involve these leaders. We need people who are honest and transparent. We need people who believe in doing things in a mature manner,” he said.

According to Tanga, the first political parties were founded largely on the basis of religion. This history therefore cannot be changed.

![[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.
