She said this while speaking to journalists in response to the letter Onek wrote. The PM went ahead and told journalists that she didn’t even receive the letter but read it via social media like everyone else.
“I have not seen the letter. If the minister decided to address me through social media, then that’s different. It is indiscipline but I haven’t seen the letter. Maybe he was still formulating it. People are telling me that the signature on the letter is his. My offices and his are near each other,” said Nabbanja.
She informed journalists that Hillary Onek has not been attending meetings as he ought to.
Unfortunately, he never gives any reason for missing these meetings despite their importance. This according to her is laziness and she can’t allow it to go on.
“Sometimes we hold a number of meetings, he [Onek] does not attend and even today he didn’t attend. We can’t let Ugandans be suffocated. I told you on the onset of my term of office that we shall not allow laziness.”
In his letter, Eng. Hillary Onek said Nabbanja has overstepped her boundaries.
This he says he has been watching with so much “displeasure.” He even threatened to resign if she thinks she can get all the work done by herself.

![[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.
