This followed Ms Museveni’s congratulatory message to the She-Cranes following their stellar performance in the Fast Five Series in New Zealand.
The first lady added that the girls efforts has surely not gone unnoticed. She then proceeded to dub them ‘Babandana’ a popular new song by Grenade Official.
“I’d like to applaud Uganda’s national netball team @SheCranes1 for putting up a stellar perNetballer Tells Janet Museveni; “We Need More Than Wordsformance in the Fast Five World Series in New Zealand! Your hard work and dedication has surely not gone unnoticed. Well done, #Babandana!,” the first lady said.
However not everyone on the team was impressed by her message. Nuba who plays for Loughborough Lightning in the British Netball Super-league said that they need less words at this point.
More action is needed especially in reimbursing their payments which are long overdue.
She added that the girls on the team are struggling to provide for their families. Therefore, they need to be paid for their endless efforts towards the country.
“Thanks for your kind words Mama Janet, however, we need more than words at this point. These girls are struggling to provide for their families. We need to be paid for our endless efforts for the country.”
The girls were a fan favorite in this tournament especially after they stunned and beat the world’s best netballing country, Australia.
Poor financial facilitation is a factor that has hindered sport development in the country. Despite the government’s continued pledge to invest in the sector, little has been done. And even when done, it has mainly benefited a few sport disciplines such as football.
The programs available also focus a lot on rewarding individual brilliance rather than collectively.

![[dropcap]P[/dropcap]resident Yoweri Museveni is reportedly disturbed by the high number of cases of land grabbing involving officials from the State House and the Office of the President. This was revealed on Friday by Ms Phiona Barungi, the State House Special Assistant on General Duties while meeting land-grabbing victims in Luwero district. Barungi said the president had been lately overwhelmed by complaints about State House officials tormenting scores of people, especially in central Uganda. “There’s just too many complaints about State House employees,” she said. “We have become a big problem, even the president himself, who gave us these jobs is concerned… He does not know what to do.” “He sent us to serve the people but we are now serving our stomachs. It has gotten to a point where almost every state house official is involved in a land wrangle somewhere.” In a meeting held in Zirobwe village in Bukyimu sub-county in Bamunakika, Barungi said her office was being bombarded daily by helpless people. Some of these are facing death threats from powerful people. “Yesterday I had just landed from Turkey, I even was feeling sick. I found a man at the airport waiting for me,” Barungi told the meeting. “He told me that a man connected to Gen Muhoozi Kairerugaba was hunting him to kill him and take his land. When I asked around, it turned out that this man has no connection to Gen Muhoozi. He is just a serial land grabber.” In the meeting, the residents singled out a number of people who have been harassing them. These also went ahead destroying their crop gardens, and metting out all manner of violence to force them out of their land. The Minister of Lands Hon Sam Mayanja during the meeting ordered an immediate arrest of two of these land grabbers. They include Mary Babirye and Rasmus Kagaba.
