She has said if NRM doesn’t unite now, they are going to lose Gogonyo by-election in Pallisa district. Currently, she is in Pallisa to meet with local party leadership and prepare for the elections.
According to her, this by election should be easy for them to win because they have no opposition in Pallisa but disunity may just lead to their loss.
“If we are divided as teams, we can never win. Much as we have no opposition in Pallisa, if we continue with the division, we won’t win. I want to kindly beg you, let’s come together as a family and win this by-election for the sake of NRM,” Sseninde said while addressing local leaders.
Oule George Omoding, the Pallisa NRM chairman, thanked Sseninde for her efforts in upholding unity within the district. He says this will further strengthen the party’s support in Pallisa.
Omoding said they are ready to deliver a peaceful free and fair NRM victory. This is once the Electoral Commission officially flags off the campaigns.
The Court of Appeal earlier ruled that they elected the incumbent MP, Derrick Orone, irregularly following a petition by Issa Bantalib Taligola.
This is why the seat is currently vacant. Those who have expressed interest in the seat are Orone (NRM), Taligola (Independent), Francis Mukula (Independent) and Joseph Okoboi of National Unity Platform (NUP).

![[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.
