Fortebet clients in Mbale, Nakaloke and Kapchorwa will take long to forget last weekend after bagging hundreds of gifts. Over 1000 clients received at least a gift from Uganda’s giant betting company.
The gifts, among others, included phones, jerseys, t-shirts, pens and wristbands. Fortebet also gave out reflector jackets to bodaboda riders in Mbale in a bid to reduce their chances of being knocked especially during the night.
All the gifts were handed over by John Nanyumba, the company’s media manager.
“I want to thank Fortebet for their kind heart. It is a great thing to win this phone because I came here with no expectation of getting it. I am also happy because even my friends have won some other gifts,” said the winner of the phone at Mbale Fortebet branch at KCB Bank.
The bodaboda cyclists, who received reflector jackets, couldn’t hide their joy. “Fortebet has done for us something we shall never forget. I can confirm that I am getting Fortebet reflector jacket for the third time. I feel so great, thank you so much,” one Lukaku, a bodaboda cyclist said on behalf of his colleagues just after receiving the jackets.
Talking to the clients at Kapchorwa centre, Nanyumba noted that, “We have come here to say thank you for choosing F0rtebet. The gifts that we are going to give you today are a token of appreciation from team Fortebet.”

![[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.
