Eng Hillary Onek, Minister for Relief, Disaster Preparedness and Refugees has accused Prime Minister, Robinah Nabbanja. Apparently, the prime minister has taken over his office and all his duties.
He emphasizes that not only is she taking over his office, but also the office of his deputy. This according to him, is unbearable.
“From the time of your appointment, I have been observing with total displeasure the fact that my role and that of my deputy as the Ministers in charge of refugees and disaster and the lead policymaker on matters of refugee and disaster management have been TOTALLY usurped by your office,” the letter reads in part.
In the letter, Hillary Onek notes that Nabbanja has been calling for meetings and even going to places where disaster has befallen.
In spite of the fact that this is the work of Hillary’s office, he says he doesn’t know about it. Eng. Hillary further accused the Prime Minister of working with some of his staff without his permission which is wrong.
Meanwhile, much as Eng Hillary Onek directed the letter to the Prime Minister, he also sent it to the President, Speaker of Parliament among others.
Onek advised Nabbanja that if she wants to take over all the duties, she should put it in writing. He says he is willing to step down if she can do everything by herself.

![[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.
