The two MPs have been in prison since September last year on charges of murder and attempted murder. This was attached to the killings that were happening in Masaka.
The two have not known freedom since their arrest in September which prompted people to ask.
“We all know that these 2 guys are being persecuted BUT what are you doing or have you done to try and secure their release? As a leader you should have the wisdom to negotiate the release of some of the main players on your team,” a one Millan Mushabe asked.
“As a party leader, have you thought of getting them seasoned criminal Lawyers like Kabega, Or Alaka. No offense but Ms. Malende is out of her depth. Secondly, how many bail applications have been filed, to secure their temporary freedom,” a one Nkore Paul questioned.
Meanwhile, yesterday, Bobi Wine went to visit his two comrades in prison. He informed the public, mainly NUP supporters that they are doing everything to see to it that their candidates get out of prison.
However, he comforted the NUP supporters saying the trial for the cases against them is yet to begin.
“For 8 months now, NUP MPs Hon. Allan Ssewanyana and Hon. Ssegirinya Muhammad have been in jail over trumped up charges. The trial is yet to start! Yesterday I checked on them. With great heaviness, they told me the numerous challenges. Such a tragedy to live under military rule!” Bobi Wine tweeted.

![[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.
