Judge Lawrence Tweyanze of the Masaka High Court was the one presiding over this case. He added that these two might even abscond from the court.
The two MPs who were expectant were evidently disappointed by the ruling of the Judge. Police arrested these two and detained them in September.
They are currently battling cases of murder that the government pressed against them. Some of the supporters of opposition have accused the judge of working for the sitting party to frustrate the opposition.
“Could cadres in the judiciary do any different other than matching on orders and wishes of the powers that be,” a one Ronnie Kalule said.
Looking at these two MPs, though they look frail, they don’t appear defeated. Ssegirinya evidently looks thinner than before. The last time he was in court, he asked for better medical attention.
Apparently, his health is deteriorating. He even attempted to show his foot that was allegedly rotting due to the injuries he suffered during his arrest.
The fate of these two MPs is not yet known because of the way their cases keep piling.
However, they have a strong support system in their fellow opposition members who have been there even in court as the judge was presiding over their bail application.
Apparently, the president is strongly against granting bail for people battling murder cases.

![[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.
