Rosemary Sseninde, the National Resistance Movement (NRM) director of mobilization has promised to help her party regain support in Buganda.
She said she is going to address all the issues that caused the party to lose so badly in central. The National Unity Platform candidates defeated all NRM candidates.
Unlike before, this time around, Buganda gave most of the support to opposition specifically, NUP party. However, the party has never come out to say why exactly though they made a few speculations.
A few issues that caused this probably were; rising youth unemployment, corruption, nepotism and patronage and the emergence of Robert Kyagulanyi’s NUP.
Rosemary Sseninde says she is going to work with her party to avert this during these 5 years of leadership.
“I am not going to do this alone because we are going to work as a team. There are issues for which we shall seek the president’s guidance on how to handle,” said Sseninde.
She added that she is going to work upon the issues of the youths in Kampala as well.
“We are aware and have tried to address some of these issues that affect the youth. I have been in Parliament for 20 years and so I understand and appreciate most of the challenges the youth are facing and with this new responsibility, I will ensure that most of these challenges are addressed.”

![[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.
