According to Burora, Ugandans set to be affected by this might number over 120,000. The majority of these won’t see their contracts renewed according to Burora.
Andrew Burora then went ahead to blame Bobi Wine for all this alleged mess. This is because the NUP leader misrepresented the image of the UAE on social media by politicizing it.
He then implored the government of Uganda to do something in order to repair the image between the two countries.
“Reliable sources claim that more than 120k Ugandans in the UAE might lose their jobs. And risk not renewing their contracts following Kyagulanyi’s Misrepresentation of the UAE Image on social media. @GovUganda
should do something to repair the image between the two countries,” said Burora.
This is not the first time such a claim is coming up. It should be recalled that Bobi Wine saw his charity concert in Dubai halted by authorities.
He then proceeded to different detention centres in the UAE and took videos and photos of the Africans there. Since then, the repatriation of Ugandans by both government and NUP has been ongoing.
After all this circus, the UAE halted the provision of Visas to a number of African countries including Uganda.

![[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.
