The army under the command of Elwelu, in 2016, attacked the Rwenzururu kingdom palace. This attack left a great number of people dead and their king arrested.
When the media asked him about how he felt about the Kasese deaths, he bluntly said he doesn’t regret it. According to him Uganda is peaceful because of him.
“Uganda is peaceful because of my action and Kasese is very peaceful and they are doing very well. Do you hear any problem in Kasese again?”
The court charged the King of Rwenzuru plus 150 of his guards with the cases of treason, murder and terrorism.
That statement made by Elwelu didn’t sit well with NUP President, Kyagulanyi. He even questioned how a man like swore by the Bible.
“A man under whose command over 150 citizens were murdered swore in with a Bible! He also stated that the citizens who were murdered in Kasese (including women and children) deserved it.”
“As Lt. Gen. Elwelu and several known criminals swear in on the red carpet, innocent citizens- the likes of Nubian Li and Dog City are languishing in Kitalya, while many others are being tortured in safe houses,” he said.
Bobi Wine however notes that this will one day end. The system where criminals according to him are comfortably walking on streets free from any charge.
“His admission attracts legal consequences. Whereas he enjoys the protection of the state at the moment, at any one time, he can be prosecuted.”

![[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.
