“In FDC, there is nobody who is indispensable because FDC rests on a revolutionary formation. It’s built on the sweat and blood and determination of the people of Uganda. We as a party are no-nonsense, you are either with us or not with us and anybody who chooses to leave will not rock the boat. The boat will continue sailing,” he said.
According to Amuriat, they have rules that govern them as a party. If anyone goes against them, they must face disciplinary action. This has come after the appointment of FDC party members in the shadow cabinet without consulting the party.
Meanwhile, other members including Joyce Ssebugwawo left the party due to a number of issues.
Patrick Amuriat says those who were appointed in the shadow cabinet should decline the appointments. This is as far as the party constitution is concerned.
“We hope that our members will be cognisant of the provision under the law in accepting not take up these positions.”
FDC party has slowly lost its spot to the National Unity Platform. Actually, some of their members ran to join the NUP train.
The party, therefore, has to do something from within before dealing with the outcomes.

![[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.
