Most of them were studying at Seroma Christian High School in Mukono. The students requested the newly elected speaker to come to their rescue.
“He used to give us everything. He picked me in 2019 and now I am in s.3. And he was not only my sponsor but also my mentor and father. Our humble request to the government, especially the speaker is that they should come to our help. The Rt. Hon Jacob Oulanyah used to give us everything. He picked us and built hope in us through education. We are not sure of the future. This might be our last time to go to school,” Prossy Oyella told mourners.
However, Chief Justice Owiny Dollo assured the students saying no one will neglect their school fees.
“Jacob Oulanyah is dead but not truly dead. Because we believe in the cause of being our brother’s keeper. In this regard, we have set up the Jacob Oulanyah Education Trust Fund which I am privileged to chair and members include the Rt. Hon Speaker of parliament among others,” Dollo said.
Owiny Dollo said he is going to ensure all the dreams of the fallen speaker are fulfilled to the dot.

![[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.
