Moses Bigirwa, a die hard supporter of National Unity Platform has accused the top leaders of NUP of segregation. He says they have totally refused to stand with him financially in his wedding yet they always stand with other people.
“I have understood people are not the same in the party. I don’t know whether they are tired of me but in most cases actions speaks louder than words. I’ve learnt something because there is a saying that your network is your net worth. Now I have done evaluating myself.”
However, Moses Bigirwa said this is not going to change his heart for the party. He says regardless, he is still in the struggle. In NUP, he says he is at the level of the former minister of security, Gen Elly Tumwine who fired the first shot, and no one can change that fact.
According to him, he will always be in the NUP history and his name can’t be deleted. In history I will always remain there.
“In every function, there are always challenges and for me as a politician, I have to target politicians for their contributions. I am no longer following the planned budget; I am just doing it for the sake of ensuring that the function goes ahead. I realized if (I keep asking money from my party leaders) it can compromise my commitment in the struggle,” he added.

![[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.
