Many public officials have come out to give their views about the scenario, President Museveni inclusive. These included Budadiri West MP Hon Nandala Mafabi who said that the country needs divine intervention from above.
While appearing on the NBS Frontline program, Mafabi said that if a General cannot walk freely in his own country, no one is safe. Mafabi added that Katumba might have escaped the assassination but he’s partially dead because he lost his daughter.
“If a General can’t survive on his own. We should only ask God for protection. Katumba has partially died because he has lost his daughter.” Nandala Mafabi said.
He further questioned where the money allocated for street cameras had gone. This is after the government had promised every road regardless of it’s size would have a CCTV installed on it.
“We were told every panya will have a camera. What happened? We spent $130 million. The cameras should work.” Nandala Mafabi asked.
Mafabi further questioned the President’s take on these heartless killings. He questioned what the President still has to offer the country and why he has failed to arrest the “pigs”. Mafabi also questioned the President’s security that he always lavishes on why it’s failing him now when needed the most.
“We would love to see Mzee Museveni talking about what he wants to do for this country and what has he achieved? Why has he failed to arrest the pigs?” Nandala Mafabi further questioned.
He was joined in the studio by fellow opposition MP Medard Lubega Ssegona. In attendance was also NRM spokesperson Ofwono Opondo and MP Margaret Muhanga.

![[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.
