He said the Entebbe police are actively investigating two incidents in which two fire extinguishers were abandoned by criminals. This happened during a mission that went down on December 17, 2022.
“These ones abandoned these fire extinguishers at about 1:30am. It so appears they could have been on a robbery mission or other missions,” Enanga revealed.
On that very date, suspected thieves possibly climbed the East African Fusion and Liaison Unit Offices wall in Entebbe. These are believed to have stolen two fire extinguishers from there.
Enanga sounded this warning during a media briefing at the Police Headquarters in Naguru yesterday. He revealed that in the wrong hands these extinguishers can be very dangerous.
When discharged during a crime, the extinguishers can be dangerous to those around and to the environment.
“When you put these fire extinguishers on the ground, they can be propelled to small doors, windows and in the extreme case they can be used in the making of fire extinguisher bombs where an improvised explosive device (IED) is concealed inside the fire extinguisher and can be used as a roadside IED or vehicle IED,” Enanga warned.
Due to the risks posed by these extinguishers, Enanga warned managers and proprietors to be extra careful.

![[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.
