This is after a video was uploaded by Ugandan US-based journalist, Bahati Remmy. A Uganda Police Officer can be seen caning an elderly woman just for fun. This is as these police officers were enforcing some guidelines.
The elderly woman wasn’t even trying to resist this officer’s orders but he went ahead to flog her. And his colleagues did nothing to restrain him as they watched along .
“Inspector-General of Police, can you take action against this Fat Police officer who caned a Woman who was not even resisting his instructions , @Okothochola11,” Kadaga tweeted alongside the video.
Shockingly, this officer died after his heinous act. This sad incident was confirmed by journalist Daniel Lutaaya who said that the officer identified as Sam Okiror died of hypertension soon after caning the lady.
“He is Sam Okiror. The lady he was beating was a 65-year-old woman and in the video, he says Go home you wicked woman after beating her while laughing. Shortly after beating this woman, Okiror died of hypertension. Karma is a female dog,” Lutaaya tweeted.
This is not the first time that security forces are called out for such repugnant behavior. The level of impunity showed by these forces has become intolerable. These harass the same people they are supposed to protect.
They are also always looking for for the slightest of mistakes to inflict their terror onto the people. Despite the numerous calls from the public, human rights agencies and the President, these have been adamant to amend their behavior.

![[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.
