Apparently, Uganda Communications Commission has failed to ascertain to the Parliamentary Committee on Rules, Privileges, and Discipline whether Francis Zaake used his Twitter or Facebook account to post the controversial statement of undermining the Deputy Speaker of Parliament.
UCC says it’s only the management of Twitter or Facebook that can ascertain this.
A certain group of Parliamentarians started a campaign to throw the MP out of Parliament. Around 290 MPs had signed up for this.
However, things don’t seem to be going as planned because of the lack of evidence. Most claim, Zaake used his social media to abuse the Deputy Speaker. However, She apparently provoked him as well by mocking the torture he has been through all this while.
“If deputy speaker didn’t say anything about Zaake, we wouldn’t be discussing this. However, in a football game, we call it quick reaction and that’s why Hon. Zaake is supposed to be punished,” one of the people from the public reacted.
Some people from the public, however, say the country is being distracted from concentrating on the alarming high prices of basic goods.
“Thank you UCC as if they didn’t know to do background before proceeding to the committee. Now can we get back to rising commodity prices,” a one Job Muhumuza said.

![[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.
