This is by poaching some of the strongest individuals from the rival political parties. A common character of the NRM, Mulindwa says that they are having talks with these NUP members.
Mulindwa went ahead to reveal that this Opposition has been built on hate. He also blamed the opposition for not conceding defeat just as the NRM does.
An example was pointed out by Mulindwa such as the lord mayoral seat where they always accept defeat to Erias Lukwago.
“We have some people in NUP we are talking with and I promise you, soon, three ‘big’ NUP members will join NRM. The Besigyes built the opposition on hate. They never had ideas and all they did was say they are going to defeat Museveni. They have promised this since the 2000s,” said Mulindwa on the NBS Eagle.
Kibanda north county MP Linos Ngompek also downplayed the opposition’s influence on the same show. He said that as the NRM, they don’t feel the presence of the Opposition.
According to him, the situation in this 11th Parliament is just the same as was in the 10th Parliament.
Ngompek also pointed out that these opposition political parties shun IPOD sessions. However, when the money is released, they always show up gladly to pick it up.
“When it comes to IPOD, the opposition never shows up but when money goes to their accounts they pick it.”
Meanwhile, as NRM intends to fish from NUP, the Bobi Wine-led party is also fishing from fellow opposition political parties.
It’s no longer a secret that the Kamwokya-based party took two of FDC’s stalwarts. These include Habib Buwembo and a one Kajambiya who have been great pillars in the FDC struggle.
Several people have come out to criticize this because it apparently doesn’t make any sense. They don’t see why parties having a common target can weaken each other with such moves.

![[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.
