“She won her position in [NRM] Central Executive Committee (CEC) and I congratulated her. Very many people can serve in the position of the speaker and she is one of them.”
Nankabirwa however sighted an incident where Kadaga apparently caused conflict. In 2020, Kadaga said the parliament was under siege by the judiciary and executive due to their stand on the shs10billion. Parliament had signed that money to allegedly help them fight Covid in their communities. The high court however ordered all MPs to take back the money as it was illegal.
The government chief whip, Ruth Nankabirwa declined to answer questions on whether any other NRM members had issues with Kadaga.
“In a few days, you can expect a decision from CEC on the matter of speakership so that people settle down. This will not be the end of the world.”
“Many Members of Parliament are waiting for the decision of CEC when it comes to the speakership. CEC cannot just wake up to decide on speakership without justification,” Nankabirwa.
Meanwhile, Ruth Nankabirwa also says she doesn’t see herself coming back to parliament even after five years. It should be remembered that she didn’t go through this time around.
I have prepared my handover report… and don’t see myself coming back to parliament after five years. I have to move on. I am lucky that I am quitting when I am still energetic.”

![[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.
