Nganda who is the FDC spokesperson said that people who expected the cabinet to perform were far from reality.
The legislator’s remarks were directed at NRM secretary-general with whom he was appearing alongside on the NBS Morning Breeze program.
“What surprises me is that Hon. Todwong says he is optimistic the new cabinet will deliver. Deliver what?” Ssemujju questioned.
Ssemujju who recently lost miserably in the race for speaker of parliament also added that the budget passed recently was far from promising.
He further said this was a consumptive budget NRM passed. He meant that the government by this only cares about spending about what pleases it not actually the welfare of people and what is on ground.
“In the just-read budget, nothing has changed, it’s going to be a consumptive budget. It’s NRM that passed this and you understand when I say that.” Ssemujju said.
Ssemujju Nganda continued to air his opinions about the new cabinet saying for it to perform, it has to have a better supervisor.
He said that if the supervisor is not good, then he is most likely to find trouble implementing his plans. This implies that President Museveni was not any better than the choice of candidates he made.
He likened the situation to a company having a good structure when the CEO is below par.

![[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.
