Apparently, every time Nabbanja is in the area, money is going to be spent in favor of the ruling party.
“Whenever you see Robinah Nabbanja involved in an election, know she has gone to distribute money. We saw what she did in Kayunga. When we saw her in Omoro, we knew what she was up to. I have nothing against Andrew Ojok Oulanyah, I have actually not met him, but things should be done right. That should be the concern of all of us,” he added.
Joel Ssenyonyi said this after EC announced Andrew as the winner of the by-election in Omoro. Andrew came first with 14,224 votes, NUP’s Toolit had 1,633 votes.
In third place and fourth place was Terence with 532 votes and Justine with 529, independent and FDC respectively. Independent Onen Jimmy had 88 votes in fifth place and ANT’s Kizza had 63 votes in last place.
Meanwhile, Ssenyonyi says their agents were arrested the previous night with no cause whatsoever so he can’t guarantee the fairness of the election.
“Our agents and election supervisors began to be arrested last night and are still behind bars. I can assure you that by the close of business tomorrow, they will be set free with no charge. The plan was to get them out of circulation so that the State does what it wants.”

![[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.
