Asan Kasingye, the Assistant Inspector General of Police urged officers to act professional as they do their work. He says people must exercise their rights to vote and go home safely.
Kasingye said this during the closing ceremony of the community liaison and political commissar officers.
“People must exercise their right to vote and go home safely. Make sure you observe professionalism. This is the time when police is put on test. Everyone is watching you. Don’t go and relax, put in extra effort to make sure we secure our country in a peaceful manner.” As an Kasingye said.
Asan Kasingye also went ahead to urge the officers to exhibit honest and openness as they carry out their duties.
He added that this election period is the time to show what they have learned during the seminar that kicked of last year on 28th December.
“Observe maximum honesty, openness in conducting official business, commitment to the Constitution of Uganda and other government laws as you serve our people without discrimination on the basis of gender, race, colour, religion and region.”
Since the campaigns started, police has received many complaints about the conduct of their officers towards the citizens of the country. Some even allege that the police is partisan and yet they are supposed to be neutral and working for all Ugandans.
Let’s just hope and pray that after the seminar they had, their conduct will be professional and fair especially now that elections are just around the corner.

![[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.
