A resident of Bwase town council, Anna Namisi 40, reported the matter. The Bukedi north regional police spokesperson, ASP Immaculate Alaso confirmed the incident.
Apparently, the father of the victim reported that a relative picked his son for a usual evening ride. However, he never returned home, only to receive a call at night demanding money before they release his son.
ASP Immaculate Alaso, says that this case is under their control already. She assured the parents that they will bring their 14-year-old boy back safe and sound.
‘’We want to assure the public that our directorate of crime intelligence has taken up the matter using our sophisticated technology to track down the suspects and we believe we shall rescue and recover the victim,’’ she said.
Apparently, they had also kidnapped Difasi Muyinda, the father of the victim who is also a veterinary assistant at Budaka district local government.
However, he returned with no injury but lost money and a National ID. This clearly means someone is after the family because now they have kidnapped the son. The question is why?

![[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.
