“Security forces are in high gear to ensure that there is peace and safety for all Ugandans. Those who are planning to attend that illegal swearing-in, I just want to warn you that please, don’t be part because we have only one president who was elected. The rest are comical, we don’t expect any other swearing-in,” she said.
She also emphasized that to the young people saying riots are unacceptable.
“Riots are unacceptable and they won’t be allowed. I have told you that the security forces are alert. They are monitoring, they are patrolling meaning that they are on the ground to disperse any crowd,” she said.
Online media has been on fire as the swearing-in approaches. Many still insist, especially NUP supporters that they are the winners of the elections. However, the Electoral Commission announced incumbent, President Museveni as the winner with 58.2% against his counterparts. Since then there has been a lot of talk around the nation threatening to stop the swearing-in ceremony.
No wonder Minister Judith Nabakooba has come out to state that they won’t tolerate ‘unlawful acts’. She warned the youth to desist from any act that might attract the attention of security forces.

![[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.
