This followed an article in one of the dailies showing Kadaga’s take on the presidency. The minister of East African Affairs distanced herself from these reports quickly. She said she’s not eyeing the country’s top office in 2026.
She added that this is meant to create disharmony in the country.
“For the last one week, there has been circulation on social media fictitious posters of Rt Hon Kadaga as a candidate for President 2026. The same posters and allegations were posted on social media in May 2021. This is a matter that has been reported to the Uganda Communications Commission and the Security Agencies.
This is to clarify that the posters are fake and intended to cause disharmony in the country,” a statement from her Ministry read.
However Kyagulanyi relates this to the fear of her boss, Museveni’s nature. The NUP leader also said that most people fear the torture meted out on those who have attempted to eye Museveni’s seat.
“It is not that they fear Museveni’s seat for any other reason. They simply fear unexplained deaths, imprisonment, blackmail, torture, witch hunt, and all manner of persecution visited on those who have attempted to run for the highest office of the land,” the former Kyadondo east legislator said.
A few months ago former Prime Minister Dr. Ruhakana Rugunda also distanced himself from the President’s seat. He also said that the social media reports that some circulated didn’t contain any bit of truth in them.

![[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.
