This follows a number of things he has done for his people ever since he ascended to the parliamentary seat. Ssegirinya has been seen up and down trying to avail services to his people ranging from health services to financial assistance.
The MP has been busy building Kawempe North Hospital which he says will be the best in the region and perhaps the country. He has gone ahead to get the medical equipment necessary to run the hospital.
These have been largely through donations from his friends he has always made through his numerous trips abroad.
The MP has also secured a number of ambulances both for the hospital and the entire country. A few ago days, he unveiled a fire brigade vehicle which he says will help people in case of fire outbreaks.
The MP also announced he had started his Segi-box venture meant to uplift the people of his constituency from poverty.
Through this program, Ssegirinya gives out financial assistance to the vulnerable people to boost their businesses or start up some.
Still a few months back, he revealed he was starting up a technical institute in the area. This will help to equip the youths with vocational skills.
All these are beside his charitable contributions to the community such as treatment of the sick, looking after the needy, donating food among others.

![[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.
