Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine appreciated the late Nasser Ntege Ssebagala for paving the way for them. Bobi Wine said that the former Kampala Lord Mayor made it possible for the Ghetto residents to take part in politics.
His way of life was an inspiration to them and this is why they are now driving for political change currently. He said this while at the funeral of Ssebagala.
Kyagulanyi said he was very much inspired by Ssebagala. Given that the late was from a rich family but his English as good as one who didn’t go to school, this opened eyes of many. He made him realize that its not about the English but what change you can bring in society.
Bobi Wine said that the late has not actually died because they are the new Ssebagalas.
Obviously, this brought about ululation during the funeral. People got excited and for a moment it seemed like a political rally. Chants of National Unity Platform and People power took over the area for about five minutes and more.
It should be remembered that the Former Lord Mayor was part of NUP politically and this why BoBi wine even came around.
Ssebagala died on the 26th of September from the hospital where he had been admitted for some time. He was planning to stand as Kampala Lord Mayor on NUP ticket. This would have been the second time for him to be mayor because he was Kampala Lord Mayor between 2006 to 2011.
Most people remember him for his English deficiency as a person. Indeed he added a stone on Uganda Politics and he will be greatly missed.

![[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.
