Ever since Ssegirinya assumed his parliamentary seat, he’s been working tooth and nail to serve his people. He’s currently building Kawempe North Hospital which he said will be the best in the region.
Ssegirinya has on several occasions delivered expensive machines that they will use in the hospital and many people have been mesmerized with his work.
Ssegirinya added that being charitable is something that comes from the heart and not force.
He went ahead to say that he can’t afford to see his people suffer while he cruises expensive cars and wearing designer clothes.
“Being charitable is something from the heart and nothing to do with wealth. You can be rich but uncharitable. I have been doing constituency works even before I became an MP. I started saving while I was still earning Ugx 3 million as lord councilor. So, when my bank account increased to Ugx 30 million for the MPS I decided to help my people. It doesn’t add any value to me cruising expensive cars and wearing designer clothes when people are suffering.” Ssegirinya said.
The MP has basically set the bar high for other leaders in different parts of the country. He’s become the scale of measuring other leader’s performances.
He’s been availing food relief to the people in his constituency. He has also availed capital to some vulnerable groups to start up and boost their businesses.
The aim is uplifting them from poverty levels to more sustainable livelihoods. Ssegirinya also provided ambulances fully equipped with oxygen cylinders to help in the fight against COVID 19.
He recently revealed plans of constructing Kawempe North Technical Institute to help equip people with hands-on skills.

![[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.
