Emmanuel Dombo, the NRM Communications Director, has said none of the young politicians in Uganda is like the late Ssemwogerere. He says in all the years Ssemwogerere spent in active politics, there was never a time he disrespected or abused any person.
“Paul Kawanga Ssemogerere was very admirable. I am in pain because when you see these young politicians, there is no one like him. I have never seen a story of him abusing anyone, he was very respectable.”
On the other hand, Hon. Joseph Ssewungu, MP Kalungu County West, said he just admired the fact that Semwogerere didn’t employ guns in his fight for freedom.
“One of the things I admire about Ssemwogerere is that he never adopted the way of using a gun to take over power. He also worked for the transition of this country after the liberation.”
Hon. Paul Kawanga Ssemwogerere passed on on Friday morning at his Busiro County home. There have been so many rumors concerning the cause of his death but none as yet has been confirmed.
Some people are suspecting that he was probably poisoned. Some samples were taken yesterday to confirm this.
Ssemwogerere is to be laid to rest today at Nkumba Bufulu, in Wakiso District. For this reason DP has mobilized about 300 DP youth to guard against any anticipated chaos during the burial of this political giant.
The DP chairperson in Katabi Town Council, Mr Francis Xavier Sserwadda, said they will ensure order prevails during the burial.

![[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.
