Ruth Nankabirwa has filed a forma;l complaint against Rebecca Kadaga just hours after NRM secretary general Justine Kasule Lumumba announcing that Kadaga will face disciplinary action if a formal complaint is lodged against her.
The former government chief whip believes that what the former speaker and second NRM national vice chairperson did was an act of impunity.
“My intuition is telling me that what happened cannot be just left like that. The whole country was waiting to see if it’s business as usual. It’s all about party not individualism. It’s about party because it’s a mass party.” Nankabirwa addressed the media.
Nankabirwa however might not have lodged the complaint in good faith but to have her go at the former speaker. The two used to have sharp differences that manifested during plenary sittings. Nankabirwa accused Kadaga at one time of leading the house to the wrong direction.
Nankabirwa who lost her Kiboga woman MP seat added that the government’s priority will be directed towards accessing private land before compensation. This means amending article 26 of the constitution which parliament rejected.
“Government will have to acquire private land. But this will come before compensation. This is because there are usually disagreements between the government valuer and the landlord. This usually makes the landlord to refuse to vacate when the project is already underway.” Nankabirwa added
Nankabirwa has been in parliament for 27 years and a minister since 1998 prior to losing her seat.

![[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.
