“Naye Banange Omwana Kibalama, Oba Anwya Biki,” Barbie posted loosely meaning “What does Kibalama really drink?”
Kibalama and others affiliates to him earlier this week opened up new offices belonging to NUP in Kabowa. This, therefore, left two factions of the party, one in Kamwokya and another in Kabowa.
While speaking to NBS TV, the spokesperson of the Kabowa faction, Gideon Tugume, said that they had decided to regain their party back from Bobi Wine.
Furthermore, Tugume revealed that Bobi Wine had dubiously acquired the party leadership. Tugume said that Bobi Wine duped his uncle who sold him the party yet he had no authority since he was just the acting president.
Tugume also revealed that they suspended Kibalama and the secretary-general until further notice. They apparently set up a committee to investigate how Bobi Wine acquired the party.
“A committee of 11 people was set up to investigate the circumstances under which Kyagulanyi acquired the National Unity Platform. He will soon be summoned. In the meantime, Kibalama and Kagombe are on suspension.
Kibalama was the acting head of the party, and by his mandate as acting, he had no capacity to transfer the leadership to another person.
As long as the party is concerned, that memorandum of understanding is illegal. Kyagulanyi came and duped his uncle Kibalama. All those elected on the NUP ticket have to come to the headquarters in Kabowa for a ‘blessing’,” Tugume said.
However, a letter released by the Electoral Commission quashed the group’s hopes of regaining the party. They told them that they legally sold off the party to Bobi Wine and his Kamwokya group and therefore have no claim over it.
Kibalama meanwhile claims that Bobi Wine breached the Memorandum of understanding. It is for this reason that he wants the party back.

![[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.
