Minister of Health, Dr. Ruth Aceng was captured in pictures with crowds in Lira, Aromo Sub-county without a face mask and with no social distancing.
Dr Ruth Aceng declared recently that she intends to run for the position of woman member of Parliament for Lira District. Her reaction attracted many Ugandans especially those who are still suffering due to covid-19 measures.
Stella Nyanzi took to her Facebook page and criticized the health minister for not complying with covid-19 guidelines.
“Dr Aceng, Dr Aceng, Dr Aceng! Got caught with your knickers down? You, who commanded all to wear masks. Was caught with your mask off in public. You, who commanded all to social distance
Was caught tightly squeezed by the public. You, who issued the Tonsembelera campaign
Was found dancing Nsembelera-Nsembelera! You, who banned gatherings of more than five Was caught addressing a public rally. You, who banned political gatherings Was caught courting your voters en masse! Dr Aceng, Dr Aceng, Dr Aceng, You got caught with your panties down! Will you deceive us it’s not your pubic hair?” Stella Nyanzi posted.
They must accept to open some of us who are yet in captivity soonest otherwise she will not breathe too! In a world where democracy prevailed, she would be an ex minister by now by resigning or offering apology while kneeling down to the populace for her complacency,‘Alfred Wegener commented.
Haven’t you read her post yet? She said she was teaching people how to use the mask and that she wasn’t holding a rally. She also claimed that people came in big numbers and it was very difficult for her to control them. Not sure if they were unruly,’Nthubuga Marco commented.

![[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.
