President Museveni has said Christians should learn to work hard so that they can represent God better. He made these remarks while attending a church crusade in Luweero, which was organized by his daughter Patience Rwabwogo.
“I call upon all of you to work hard, especially you Christians. Do not sit and pray for miracle wealth. Work so that you represent God better. Let your light shine before men so that they see your good deeds and praise your father in heaven,” he said.
He dispelled allegations that his government had abandoned Luweero. President Museveni while speaking to the locals gathered for the crusade also asked that the people forget what had happened and start a new chapter of redemption in the area.
“It is not true that the government forgot the people of Greater Luweero. Let us start our relationship between the government and the people of Luweero afresh,” Museveni said.
He went ahead to thank his daughter for taking him back to the place of his rise to power. He noted that back then, he came to Luweero to put land mines for “Obote people” but he was glad to “come in peace” this time around.
Meanwhile, for so long, the people of Luweero have always expressed discontentment.
They say the government has not done enough to support them and due to this in 2021, they voted overwhelmingly for NUP’s Robert Kyagulanyi.

![[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.
