The council will meet to discuss and find solutions to all issues of insecurity and alleged abduction and give hope to helpless Ugandans. He revealed this on Tuesday as he addressed journalists in Kampala at Uganda Media Center.
While at it, he also denied allegations from the opposition that security is engaged in human rights violations of Ugandans. He further asserted that since NRM took power, it has always abided by the rule of law. He also added that there is no way human rights were violated by them.
The National Unity Platform, an opposition party, has in the past accused security forces of abducting over a dozen of its members. The party said these abductions happened before, during and after last year’s general elections.
Following the accusations from NUP, one of its supporters Mr Moses Bukenya, alias Wiser got released from prison on August 23.
He revealed that he had spent almost two years jailed in different places. At some point, his family members lost hope and held a funeral service for him believing he was dead.
Gen Muhwezi is the Member of Parliament for Rujumbura County in Rukunjiri District. He said that the human rights violations happening now are minor and can easily be worked upon.
The conversation about abduction came back to life following a recent incident involving men dressed in military uniforms.
This abducted a Pakistan national from Kireka and robbed him sparking security investigations.

![[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.
