This all came after Ssegirinya aka Mr Update’s incarceration at Kitalya prison for illegally demonstrating in town.
Ssegirinya was demanding the unconditional release of NUP comrades. The police arrested these people after the presidential elections in January.
Ssegirinya came out on his Facebook page to ask for prayers from his supporters as his condition wasn’t good at all.
He said that the doctors told him that his liver is weak and needs a transplant. Now online blogger Isma Olaxes has thrown some light on what he thinks of this situation.
While talking to a local radio station, Isma said that he is sure this is another stunt Ssegirinya is pulling. It is to take away the attention from his lack of academic papers.
“Ssegirinya will return on the 11th of May since he has to swear in on the 12th. All the stunts he’s pulling off saying that his liver is sick and pus oozing out of his body are just comedy”.
Isma also went ahead to give his thoughts on why Ssegirinya is doing all he does. “The biggest problem is that he spent a lot of time around Besigye, Lukwago, Nambooze. Many of these opposition figures are good at pulling off stunts’.
Isma who campaigned for president Museveni in the recent polls said that Ssegirinya had someone behind him orchestrating all these stunts. “It seems someone gave him a loan and if he does not make it to parliament and swear in then they won’t be paid, actually people have even forgotten about his academic papers and now focussing on his health status.
Isma also said that the people power diehard is looking for sympathy from people when the swearing-in ceremony comes around.
“Remember Ssegirinya said that he would not swear in without his president Bobiwine swearing-in. So, how do you expect him to fail to turn up when he won and his president didn’t”. Isma said.

![[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.
