“That [Museveni] is not our enemy and you should know the values of UPC. UPC’s enemies are poverty, ignorance and disease, so we fight poverty, ignorance and disease from Uganda. So, you will find us in that course and that is our biggest enemy.”
Ebil says UPC is doing quiet a lot with the NRM government and if other people feel like they can join, they are open.
“For those who would wish to join us in doing that we are with them. Those who want to increase the level of poverty, ignorance and disease are our enemies and we shall always deal with them decisively. We are not there to fight an individual. Our cause is bigger than [fighting president Museveni].”
In light of the elections in Kenya, Ebil says Uganda too has an opportunity to get better. He says if politicians can understand that an election is not a do or die, a lot of things will change.
“We should learn that Uganda has a better opportunity to be the best democracy in the world. We just need to learn from our brothers and sisters in Kenya that politics is not a do or die. It is about shared values and shared aspirations and understanding that a country is bigger than all political parties.”

![[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.
