Dr. Stella Nyanzi believes Bobi Wine aka Robert Kyagulanyi is the change that the people of Kyadondo East and most importantly, the parliament needs. Without saying much, below is Stella ‘s post which covers it all from the Tubonga Nawe snub to potential weed therapy at the August House.

Now that he was arrested and momentarily detained for God knows what, if I was a voter in Kyaddondo East, I would vote for Bobi Wine. For starters, his politics has for long been in the right place. He never joined the Tubbonga Nawe musicians who sang praises for Museveni during the last presidential campaigns. His social justice work is growing. Unlike many who think that Bobi is like dormant comedians and singers masquerading as legislators, I see a growing social-political leader who is in touch with the realities of youthful Uganda. Some of his music is heavily political because it clearly names and challenges oppression. But also, it would be really great to have a passion-filled swaggerific dreadlocked Mubanda in parliament. I hope he shares his ganja with many Members of Parliament because weed can unblock blocked minds. Yeah man, maximum peace and respec’ Bobi Wine! Nange ku lunno mbikwathitha Kyagulanyi.

![[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.
