President Museveni has said that Ugandans have stopped him from becoming a billionaire. Addressing the country on the eve of the 61st independence anniversary, Museveni said that if he was in the US, he would now be a billionaire from his milk business.
This is because he would be having a market of about 320m people. However, in Uganda, people support him once in a while. They buy and sometimes they don’t.
He then has to take the milk to Kenya and it gets stopped at the border. The same things happen with Rwanda, Congo and other East African borders.
Basically, he would be a massively rich man if this stop-and-start mechanism wasn’t involved in his business. But since these hurdles are existent, that’s why he’s still Museveni.
“If I was living in the US, I would be a billionaire by now because I would have a market of about 320m. But in Uganda, I have to beg people to buy my milk. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t. Then I have to take it to Kenya and they close the border on me. Same thing with Rwanda, Congo etc. If without the start and stop mechanism, I would now be a billionaire but I’m now Museveni,” said the President.
Furthermore, he called out all these leaders promoting sectarianism. Museveni said that politics of tribe, religion and other cultural factors won’t be tolerated.
This is because as African patriotic leaders, they are trying to create a United States of Africa. It has been the goal since the 1960s. However, the foreign actors are trying to create a Latin America in Africa.

![[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.
