He further added that listening to the Golden Band singer’s ‘Tuli ku bunkenke’ song reckons the force he was. He however betrayed his conscience for just crumbs of bread according to the journalist.
“I miss Ronald Mayinja. He’s the epitome of bad politics that perverted Uganda. I’ve just listened to his Tuli ku bunkenke. Never betray your conscience for crumbs of bread,” Simon said.
In the mid-2000s, Ronald Mayinja was one of the most politically acclaimed singers.
He hit out at the government through his different songs such as Tuli ku bunkenke, Africa among others. It’s quite fair to say that he was more of a political threat to the government together with Kadongo Kamu singer, Mathias Walukaaga.
The duo even criticized the government with the music than Bobi Wine then.
Mayinja then joined Bobi Wine’s NUP prior to the presidential election. There was even talk that he was going to contest for a parliamentary seat on the NUP ticket.
However, sooner than expected, Mayinja turned around like an axe on a tree. He joined the NRM and was officially unveiled much to the shock of NUP and other government critics.
The singer would go on to release the theme song for President Museveni in the 2021 General elections. This was titled ‘Akalulu.’ Since then however Mayinja has been musically silent with many people wondering if he was dumped by NRM.

![[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.
