It should be remembered that last year though, her party was against her standing, she came as an independent to contend with Oulanyah who was the NRM party choice.
However, she lost to him but Museveni still considered her for a ministerial position. She is currently the Minister of East African Community Affairs.
A number of people anticipated that due to the unfortunate news of the passing of Rt. Hon. Speaker Jacob Oulanyah, Kadaga would show interest. She however chose to stay away from this spot and concentrate on her work.
There are many reasons we could attach to her refusal to participate in this.
The fact that she must resign from her ministerial position could be one because if she doesn’t go through, she loses both spots.
Another possible reason could be to prove that she didn’t mean bad for the fallen Speaker. Most people were accusing her of having ill feelings toward Oulanyah.
Her participation in this race would make many people say a lot. We could also put it on the fact that so many people have shown interest in this position and she didn’t want to be added to that list.
Rumour has it that the president told her to concentrate on bringing to life the East African integration.
Some sources though had confirmed that she was considering standing for this position but she was advised to stay away from it. Otherwise, the public was ready to witness how the race would end with her in it.
Meanwhile, she has not yet made a comment in regards to this topic, nor has she talked about Oulanyah’s sudden death.

![[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.
