The New Vision has over the past few days run headlines allegedly exposing the wrangles in NUP. At first the newspaper ran a headline saying that ‘NUP TOP BOSSES IN BITTER SPLIT.’ The latest headline in the news daily reads as ‘NUP CRISIS DEEPENS OVER CASH.”
This saw Bobi Wine take to his Twitter page to criticize the newspaper for being run as a private entity.
Yet it’s government owned and therefore public. Bobi Wine said that what ‘Museveni’s puppet Don Wanyama has reduced the New Vision to is worse.’ The politician added that this is what happens when public institutions are personalized and incompetent people hired.
“What Museveni’s puppet Don Wanyama has reduced the New Vision to! Worse than a tabloid. Happens when you personalise institutions and appoint incompetent stooges & sycophants to head them. Our nation is in deep crisis- they must manufacture lies to divert. #WeAreRemovingADictator,” Kyagulanyi tweeted.
A number of NUP top delegates have been coming out to criticize Don Wanyama and New Vision. This is over these articles that have irritated the young party.
The LOP, Mpuuga even came out to account for the full review of what happened at the recent NUP retreat. According to New Vision, this is where all the crisis came into full play.
Apparently, the way Bobi Wine runs the party is frustrating some sections of the party.
The principle has maintained hooligans at the party headquarters who are always begging for money from the MPs. Besides, when they refuse, these hooligans hurl insults at the MPs which is demeaning and frustrating.
Also, accountability for some party funds such as the shs 3.1b from IPOD and money from diaspora accountability has failed Kyagulanyi.
They advised the singer-turned politician to stop running a national political party like a business

![[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.
