Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine has said they are not going to rest until they get Ssegirinya and Ssewanyana’s unconditional release from prison. The NUP leader said this after paying a visit to them in Kigo Prison.
He ran to his social media platforms to give accountability to his followers. He was escorted by NUP Secretary-General, David Lewis Rubongoya and Spokesperson Joel Senyonyi.
“…we went to Kigo Government prison to check on our detained MPs, Ssegirinya Muhammad and Allan Ssewanyana. Found them in high spirits although sickly and frail after they were violently arrested and tortured. We continue to demand for their unconditional release,” He wrote
NUP supporters flooded his post with comments of pride for their party president. According to them, this shows they are still in the struggle to apparently rescue the country.
Some fans were encouraged after seeing this because word was starting to go around that Bobi had neglected his comrades.
“Thank you H.E. The junta is brutalizing innocent Ugandans and as if that is not enough, he wants to legally legalize illegality by denying our sons the right to bail; But God is on our side. I won’t stop Praying Until Something Happens (PUSH) – M7 MUST GO!!!!,” a one PN. Prosie wrote.
Members Of Parliament, Ssewanyana and Ssegirinya are currently battling murder cases.
Unfortunately, they were denied bail because the president said murder suspects should be denied bail until proven innocent by court.
This simply means until they declare them innocent, they will not smell freedom from chains.

![[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.
