Rosemary Sseninde, the NRM director for mobilization and cadre development, has said people should stop blaming Museveni for the corruption in the country.
She says people nurture corruption in their own homes by the way they bring up children and also run businesses at home.
“Why do you keep blaming President Museveni for corruption in the country yet you nurture it at your own homes? Why would you give your child shs200 so that he or she can be able to wash utensils? Isn’t that corruption? Many of these vices start from our homes and communities because of the poor upbringing of our children and we instead blame leaders,” Sseninde said.
She blamed the opposition who apparently hold campaigns to deliberately tarnish the ruling government’s image. According to her they always do this for their own selfish benefit.
“As the ruling government, we are always criticized by the opposition for their own selfish benefits. They have been misleading the public to shun government programs but that is wrong. Whether you are in NRM, FDC, or NUP, take part in government programs because President Museveni’s government wants to see everyone out of poverty, be it opposition or NRM supporters. Poverty doesn’t segregate NRM, FDC or NU.”
On this note, she urged the public to take part in government programs because they are made for them.
“Some people tell you not to participate in government programs because it gives credit to NRM government. That is wrong. If government programs come your way, receive them with both hands. They are meant to benefit you. Don’t be misled by opposition politicians.”

![[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.
