According to her, government officials should learn how to mind about their villages because they are paid handsomely.
She said this because some people were suggesting that money should be put together to build a house in Oulanyah’s village.
“Oulanyah died minus building a house in the village, we build. Governer died minus building a house in Kampala, we build.
Nedda namwe muswaleko. These people had the best paying jobs in the country.”
Apparently, the fallen speaker had not completed the house he was building in the village. Some MPs were suggesting that they could contribute to this cause.
When the late governor, Mutebile passed on, the issue about him not having his own house caused alarm to too many. To the extent that they wondered where he was putting his salary.
The question is, why do government officials not build houses in their villages. This should probably be a lesson to others because at the end of the day, their villages are the burial grounds.
Meanwhile, Nambooze also wondered why a supplementary budget was needed to carry out the burial of the fallen speaker.
“It surprises me that the demise of our Speaker called for a supplementary budget. A supplementary budget is passed in scenarios of unforeseen situations.”

![[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.
